🏟️Concerts threaten the finals, a new headache for Nacional and DIM | OneFootball

The final stretch of Colombian professional football is approaching, but a series of concerts scheduled at the Atanasio Girardot stadium could leave Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín without their home ground if they qualify for the finals of the Liga and Copa Betplay 2025-II.

Both teams from Medellín are qualified for the Liga quadrangular stage and have clear chances in the Cup, but the logistics of artistic events have become a serious headache for Dimayor.

J Balvin's Request

The first problem arises at the end of November, right in the middle of the quadrangular phase. According to reports from La FM, Colombian singer J Balvin is said to have requested the stadium for 11 days, forcing Nacional and Medellín to look for alternative venues to play the final dates of the Liga semifinal phase.

League Final in Another Stadium

The conflict extends into December. A vallenato concert in the city of Medellín would prevent the second leg of the Liga Betplay final, scheduled for December 13, from taking place there. If one or both Antioquian teams reach the final, this decisive match would have to be moved to another stadium in the country.

The situation depends on the teams' final qualification for the finals, but it is already creating an atmosphere of uncertainty that would force Dimayor to readjust its calendar in the coming weeks.
