Colombia - Colombia Liga

Baloncesto Profesional Colombiano (Professional Colombian Basketball), currently known as the Liga WPlay de Baloncesto for sponsorship reasons, is the premier professional basketball championship in Colombia.

The championship was established in 1992 and is organized by the Federación Colombiana de Baloncesto (in English: Colombian Basketball Federation). The first national semi-professional championship was called Copa Sprite, sponsored by the eponymous soda trademark. This led the participating clubs to the creation of the División Mayor del Baloncesto Colombiano. This way the first championship was created, called Copa Sprite Profesional. In this version the following teams participated: Bogotá-Doria Promasa, Valle-Sensus 2, Antioquia-Sprite, Santander-Terpel, Barranquilla-Junior y Caldas-Ron Viejo de Caldas.

**Colombia - Colombia Liga**

Colombia Liga er den bedste professionelle basketballliga i Colombia. Den blev grundlagt i 1969 og består af otte hold.

Ligaen afvikles i et almindeligt sæsonformat, hvor hvert hold spiller mod de andre hold to gange, en gang hjemme og en gang ude. De fire bedste hold kvalificerer sig til slutspillet, som spilles som et single-elimination-turnering.

Det mest succesfulde hold i ligaens historie er Tigrillos de Medellín, som har vundet 12 mesterskaber.

Colombia Liga er et vigtigt skridt på vejen for colombianske basketballspillere, som ønsker at spille professionelt. Ligaen tjener også som et talentudviklingscenter for det colombianske landshold.
