With the start of the second semester of the Liga BetPlay 2026, the main clubs of the Colombian professional football returned to open the sale of their subscription plans. Although for many fans they represent the most economical way to accompany their team throughout the season, the prices show that regularly attending the stadium continues to be an important expense for the pockets of Colombians.
What happened?
The most economical plans of the big teams oscillate between 24% and 65% of a monthly minimum wage, while the premium locations even exceed one million pesos. This behavior coincides with a study published by the Mexican medium El CEO, which states that Colombia is the fourth country in Latin America where it is most expensive to go to the stadium in relation to workers' income.
Why it matters for Colombia?
The analysis calculates the economic effort in days of salary and places Argentina in the first place (2.14 days), followed by Mexico (1.74), Brazil (0.94) and Colombia (0.84). This shows that, although the nominal value of the tickets may be lower than in other countries, the purchasing power makes the economic effort for Colombian fans considerably greater.
What comes next?
The Deportivo Independiente Medellín offers the most economical entry ticket among the analyzed clubs, with a price from $81,400, although its plan for the best locations reaches $495,000. The economist Luis Fernando Ramírez explains that the high cost in proportion to income reflects mainly the low purchasing power of Colombian households.
