The 2024 Bolivian Primera División season was 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 ended on 22 December 2024.[1][2]

Bolívar won their thirty-first league title in this season, after winning the Torneo Clausura and defeating the Torneo Apertura winners San Antonio Bulo Bulo 2–0 in the championship final.[3] The Strongest were the defending champions.

Format

[edit]

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) would be played in the season. In the Torneo Apertura, the 16 participating teams were divided into four groups of four teams each with a round of interzonal matches between derby rivals. The top two teams of each group advanced to a knockout stage, in which teams played quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. Both Apertura finalists were 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 was a double round-robin competition, in which the 16 teams played 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.[1]

It was also decided that both tournament winners would play a double-legged final series at the end of the season to decide the season champions, who also earned a monetary prize of one million USD awarded by CONMEBOL.[4] The remaining international berths were 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 two-legged relegation play-off.

Teams

[edit]

16 teams competed 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,[5] 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.[6]

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

Championship final

[edit]

Although the División Profesional's Council had decided prior to the start of the season that the championship final would be played as a two-legged series, on 12 December 2024 it was announced that, in order to end the season before Christmas as agreed under the original schedule, this final would be played as a single match instead. The match was played in Cochabamba on 22 December 2024.[77]
