Entities: Tigres FC · Franco Armani · Atlético Nacional · Copa BetPlay · El Campín

Overview

Mid‑season restructuring continued across Colombia’s top flight.

The club highlighted his 13 titles from River Plate and his leadership for the second half of the 2026 Liga BetPlay campaign.

América de Cali kept forward Juan José Narváez on its shortlist as it seeks to reinforce its attack, noting challenges in finalising other targets. The side also moved toward signing Venezuelan winger Edson Tortolero from Carabobo FC, expected to add pace and width for the remainder of the season.

Cúcuta Deportivo announced the acquisition of striker Gustavo Torres, a 30‑year‑old with experience at Atlético Nacional and abroad, to bolster its forward line for the 2026‑II campaign.
