Run Down For Colombia At SDLA:
Colombia last participated in a club league tournament at the 2023 Caribbean Series in Caracas, Venezuela, where the 2022-23 LPBC champion, Vaqueros de Monteria and, ended in third place in pool play at 4-3 while losing in the third place game to the 2022-23 Liga ARCO Mexicana del Pacifico champion, Cañeros de Los Mochis 1-0 at Estadio Simón Bolívar.
Colombia did not participate in the 2024 Caribbean Series in Miami at loanDepot Park because the Federación Colombiana de Béisbol refused to pay a $200,000 participation fee to the Confederación de Béisbol Profesional del Caribe to enter as a guest, alleging that it had previously been promised full membership in the confederation.
Colombia only has three club tournament championships for the LPBC since the league started in the 1948-49 winter league season.
