     Nacional in 1957
 [2] Deportivo Cali withdrew from Dimayor (División Mayor del Fútbol
     Colombiano) in 1955 due to financial problems and reentered in
     1959 after having been refounded and obtained the place of Boca
     Juniors [Cali] which disappeared after 1958 
 [3] called Medellín F.B.C. until 1954; temporarily diappeared in
     1954 before reentering under current name
 [4] Atlético Junior withdrew from Dimayor (División Mayor del Fútbol
     Colombiano) in 1953 due to financial problems and for 12 years
     played in amateur regional tournaments and the Liga del Atlantico,
     organised by Adefútbol (Asociación de Fútbol Colombiano), before
     reentering in 1966
 [5] called Atlético Quindio until 1986
 [6] temporarily known as  "Varta Caldas", "Cristal Caldas" and "Once 
     Phillips" due to sponsorship, but its official name Once Caldas 
     was not changed; claims the heritage of Deportes Caldas who won 
     the 1950 championship
 [7] Samarios changed name to Unión Magdalena in 1953.
 [8] was the result of a merger in 1952 between Once Deportivo and
     Deportes Caldas; initially called Atlético Manizales
 [9] in 1971 Real Cartagena and Oro Negro [Barrancabermeja] played in
     the league for one season on the franchises of Atlético Bucaramanga 
     and Deportivo Independiente Medellín, respectively, due to financial
     problems of the latter two; in 1992, Real Cartagena obtained the 
     place of Sporting [Barranquilla]
[10] clubs which meanwhile disappeared

NB: a promotion/relegation mechanism with the "Primera B" was created 
    in 1991; until then, teams only disappeared due to disaffiliations 
    or withdrawals, usually due to financial problems
