Pereira Faces Deportivo Cali in Colombian League Match

Deportivo Pereira and Deportivo Cali are scheduled to meet in Colombia's Liga BetPlay second phase, bringing two established professional football clubs to Yopal, Casanare. The October 2026 fixture has drawn attention because Deportivo Cali is approaching the stage where it could secure a place among the competition's top eight teams, according to Futbolred.

Boyacá 7 Días reported that the match was scheduled for Saturday, October 10, at 3:30 p.m. at Santiago de las Atalayas Stadium in Yopal. The game gives local supporters an opportunity to watch professional Colombian football without traveling to either club's home city.

The Instituto para la Recreación y el Deporte de Casanare, known as Indercas, announced the event and invited fans to attend. According to Boyacá 7 Días, tickets were to be available at Unicentro Yopal shopping center and at the stadium box office.

Organizers advised spectators to check ticket prices, entry times, and other attendance arrangements before arriving. The event also brings national professional football to Casanare's capital, where supporters of both teams can watch the clubs compete in person.

Futbolred highlighted Deportivo Cali's position in the race to qualify among the league's top eight, describing the team as close to confirming its place in the next stage. The outlet presented the fixture as an important opportunity for coach Rafael Dudamel's side to strengthen its qualification prospects.

El País reported on the matchup as part of the 14th round of the Liga BetPlay competition. Its October 9 report also identified Santiago de las Atalayas Stadium as the venue, placing the fixture in Yopal rather than at Deportivo Pereira's usual home ground.

However, the published reports contain conflicting scheduling information. Boyacá 7 Días listed Saturday, October 10, at 3:30 p.m., while TyC Sports reported a Sunday kickoff and listed a 2 p.m. start for Colombia. TyC Sports also identified Hernán Ramírez Villegas Stadium as the venue, contradicting the reports from Colombian outlets.

For television coverage, TyC Sports listed Win Sports+ and Win Sports++ for viewers in Colombia. The Argentine outlet also identified Fanatiz International as an option in Argentina and said its website would provide live updates.

TyC Sports published the following international kickoff times based on its own schedule: Argentina and Brazil at 4 p.m.; Bolivia and Venezuela at 3 p.m.; Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay at 4 p.m.; Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru at 2 p.m.; and Mexico at 1 p.m. In the United States, it listed 3 p.m. Eastern, 2 p.m.

Central, 1 p.m. Mountain, and noon Pacific.

The conflicting dates, kickoff times, and venue details mean the published schedules do not provide a consistent account of the fixture. Boyacá 7 Días and El País identify Santiago de las Atalayas Stadium in Yopal, while TyC Sports lists Hernán Ramírez Villegas Stadium.
