Millionaires begins this Sunday in the home run of the BetPlay 2025-I League with an exciting capital classic against Santa Fe in El Campín.

The team led by David González arrives with confidence after finishing second in the regular phase of the tournament, which granted him the invisible point, and after beating Boyacá Chicó on the last day.

However, the Bogota club received a fine from the Dimayor related to the protocol prior to that last meeting.

The sanction does not affect the sports, and Millionaires already focuses on its debut before its historic rival, in search of a good beginning in this definitive phase of the championship.

This was Dimayor's sanction for millionaires

The sanction of Millionaires, imposed by the Dimayor through resolution 048 of 2025, was a fine of $ 7,117,000 for having left the party protocol against Boyacá Chicó with 18 children, when the regulation establishes a maximum of 11, one for each starting player.

The infraction was recognized by the club in its discharges, admitting that it breached the official provisions sent before the meeting. Although it has no sports consequences, the club can appeal the decision in the next few days.

Another hard economic blow for millionaires

Millionaires received another economic coup this week after the Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice ratified the illegality of the dismissal of former player Jorge Isaacs Perlaza, who was ceased in 2014 while still suffering from sequels of a work accident. Although the club is not obliged to reintegrate it, you must continue paying your monthly salary of $ 25 million and pension contributions since January 2018, until you get authorization from the Ministry of Labor to end the contract legally.

The decision recognizes reinforced job stability for people with disabilities and represents a warning to Colombian football clubs about the treatment of injured players. In total, it is estimated that Millionaires must pay more than $ 2.1 billion to Perlaza, not counting interest or adjustments, which adds to the recent fine imposed by the Dimayor and represents a significant financial burden for the institution.
