2024 Bolivian Primera División season


2024 Bolivian Primera División season


The 2024 Bolivian Primera División season is the 47th season of the División Profesional del Fútbol Boliviano, Bolivia's top-flight football league and the seventh season under División de Fútbol Profesional management. The season began on 16 February and is scheduled to end on 22 December 2024.

The Strongest are the defending champions.

Format

The competition format was confirmed at the session of the División Profesional's Council held on 10 January 2024, in which it was decided that two tournaments (Apertura and Clausura) will be played in the season. In the Torneo Apertura, the 16 participating teams will be divided into four groups of four teams each with a round of interzonal matches between derby rivals. The top two teams of each group will advance to a knockout stage, in which teams will play the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. Both Apertura finalists will be awarded international berths, with the winners qualifying for the 2025 Copa Libertadores group stage as Bolivia 1 and the runners-up claiming the Bolivia 1 berth for the 2025 Copa Sudamericana. The Torneo Clausura will be a double round-robin competition, in which the 16 teams will play each other twice for a total of 30 matches, with the top team at the end of those 30 rounds being declared as the winner and qualifying for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores as Bolivia 2.

It was also decided that both tournament winners will play a double-legged final series at the end of the season with the winner being declared as season champions and earning a monetary prize of one million USD awarded by CONMEBOL. The remaining international berths will be awarded through an aggregate table including the Torneo Apertura's first stage and the Torneo Clausura, with the bottom-placed team in this table being relegated and the team placing second-from-bottom qualifying for a double-legged relegation play-off.

Teams

16 teams compete in the league for the 2024 season: 14 of which took part in the 2023 Primera División, and two promoted from the 2023 Copa Simón Bolívar, GV San José and San Antonio Bulo Bulo. GV San José achieved a first-ever promotion to the top tier on 10 December 2023, after winning the title, and San Antonio also reached the first division for the first time six days later, after winning the promotion/relegation play-offs against Libertad Gran Mamoré.

Aside from Libertad Gran Mamoré, GV San José and San Antonio Bulo Bulo replaced Vaca Díez and Palmaflor del Trópico, both directly relegated.
