A few hours before the Clausura tournament of the Professional Division restarts, we review the accumulated table, the most relevant of all; the one that will define the classification for international tournaments, as well as the demotions.
In the upper zone, Bolívar dominates the table with 53 units and is advancing in leaps and bounds towards its final goal: reaching the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2025. In second place is its classic rival, The Strongest (46), which is forced to react in this final stage to shorten the distance.
The fight between these two teams focuses on obtaining the only ticket available for the group stage (Bolivia 2) of the Copa Libertadores 2025, given that San Antonio de Bulo Bulo, after becoming champion of the Apertura tournament, secured the Bolivia 1 .
In third position is Aurora (40), which thanks to its victories before the break managed to regain ground and get on the podium. At the moment, the light blue Cochabambinos are in the qualifying zone for the Copa Libertadores. One step further down is Nacional Potosí, also with 40 but with a lower goal difference, which places it in the Copa Sudamericana position.
Fifth place goes to Blooming, who is also 40; For now, the academy is located in the Copa Sudamericana position. Finally, if the tournament ended today, GV San José would be the team that would take over the last international spot. With 38 points, the Oruro team has achieved a phenomenal lift before the break and wants to continue its good streak.
It should be noted that Bolivia 1 in the Copa Sudamericana is Universitario de Vinto, which finished runner-up in the tournament.
This means that at this time, the teams mentioned above will play international tournaments next season, while Oriente Petrolero, Real Tomayapo, Independiente, Wilstermann, Always Ready and Guabirá would be left empty-handed.
In the red zone, the fight for permanence continues tight, with Royal Pari in indirect relegation adding 20 points, while Real Santa Cruz is in direct relegation with 16 points.
