To do this, you are provided with a good strong squad of players, of which the majority are home grown, the problem will be facing the continental clubs as well as some of the more trickier domestic ones. The academy is very strong and has produced many a fine player. Can you chase the glory?



Club Atlético Nacional S.A.

The club Unión, now known as Club Atlético Nacional, was founded in 1947 by Luis Alberto Villegas Lopera, Jorge Osorio, Alberto Eastman, Jaime Restrepo, Gilberto Molina, Raúl Zapata Lotero, Jorge Gómez Jaramillo, Arturo Torres Posada and Julio Ortiz. Atlético Nacional was the first Colombian team to win the Copa Libertadores de América, which they did in 1989. They were also runners-up in 1995. The winning of this cup was done in a special manner, since all of the team's players were Colombian; thus Atlético Nacional earned the nickname "Puros Criollos" (All Creoles). The late 1980s to mid-1990s teams are considered as the best individual teams of all time in Colombia, partly because of contributing to forming the framework for the teams that disputed the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups, considered the best Colombian national teams of all time. The club is the most successful team of the short tournaments, first instituted in 2002, with six titles out of twenty one that have been played to date.



Liga Postobón

The Liga Postobón is the top division in the Columbian football pyramid. From 1990 to 2010, the league was referred to as Copa Mustang, due to a contract with Protabaco, a tobacco industry that produced Mustang cigarettes (that ended in 2010 due to an anti-tobacco law). During the league stage, which lasts for eighteen games, each team plays against every other team once, plus an additional game against their local rival in the league.
