1948 Campeonato Profesional

The creation of the Colombian Football Federation dates back to 1924, but it was not until 1948 that a professional club tournament was played, with the creation of Dimayor on 27 June 1948. Ten teams signed up for the tournament, with each one having to pay a fee of 1,000 pesos: one from Barranquilla, three from Bogotá, two from Cali, two from Manizales, and two from Medellín. 252 players were registered as follows: 182 Colombians, 13 Argentines, 8 Peruvians, 5 Uruguayans, 2 Chileans, 2 Ecuadorians, 1 Dominican and 1 Spanish. ==League system==

Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference. The team with the most points was the champion of the league. ==Teams==

The competition was contested by 10 clubs, all of which were founding members of Dimayor. Out of the 13 founding members of the entity, only Victoria F.C., Huracán de Medellín, and Boca Juniors de Cali did not enter the competition, with the latter two joining the league for the following edition. ;Notes ==Final standings==
