These are the two best teams of the season, who overcame two tough semi-finals to reach this stage. Cali, which is the current champion, left Santa Fe on the road by beating it on penalties in Bogotá. The Americans beat Deportivo Pereira.
Deportivo Cali continues to show the solidity it has become accustomed to in women’s football, with a team led by the young Linda Caicedo, who at 16 has been one of the stars of the championship. But not only her, there is a mixture of experience and youth that bears fruit. It is a strong team in all its lines.
The teacher behind this group is Professor Jhon Alber Ortiz, who since his arrival in the Verdiblanca squad empowered most of the team, gave the young women the opportunity and classified them to their second final.
“We have worked for this, with ups and downs along the way and here we are. A final is not played every day, we are prepared”, said the sugar coach at a press conference.
Catalina Usme increases her legend in the Women’s League: she is the top scorer in history. She reached 42 points.

On the other side, America, which was the best team in the first phase, bases its power on the experienced Catalina Usme, who is the soul of the scarlet team.
“It’s special, that’s what one prepares for, we all start the semester with the illusion of reaching the final and going to the Copa Libertadores. The objectives have been met, we are happy”, said Catalina Usme.
Since the arrival of coach Andrés Usme to América in 2019, the team had a leap in quality, achieving in these three years the classification to 3 league finals, a title won, a semifinal and a Copa Libertadores final.
“Each game has its specialty and more so this one, which is the final, the numbers are numbers, but it is not the starting point. We have to put more concentration and energy,” said the coach.
