Independiente Santa Fe [Bogotá] champions of Colombia 1966
 
 
 
NB:  After the bad results of the Colombian National Team in the qualifying 
     series of the World Cup 1966, which was formed by different amateur
     players from the northern region of the country (especially from 
     Barranquilla), most of them joined the club Atlético Junior, which
     returned to the championship after 13 years.
     The schism of 1964 was resolved by the FIFA in an assembly in London 
     and since 1966 Colombia returned to international championships.  The 
     first international tournament played by Colombia was the qualifying 
     round for the Copa América 1967 in Uruguay against Chile.
