About Internacional de Bogotá

Internacional de Bogotá is a Colombian professional football team based in Bogotá. It was founded on 10 December 2025 and plays in Categoría Primera A, the top-flight competition of Colombian football.

Internacional de Bogotá was founded by the American-based consortium Tylis–Porter Group, led by real estate investor Al Tylis and Club Necaxa executive Sam Porter, and also including other investors such as actors Eva Longoria, Ryan Reynolds, and Rob McElhenney, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander and his wife, model Kate Upton, and NYU professor and entrepreneur Scott Galloway, after they acquired the Categoría Primera A club La Equidad in early 2025. La Equidad were founded in 1982 by insurance company Seguros La Equidad, and following a successful stint in amateur football tournaments, joined Dimayor in 2003, entering the lower tier professional competition Categoría Primera B that same year. It promoted to Categoría Primera A at the end of the 2006 season and won the Copa Colombia in 2008, while also achieving three league runner-up finishes in the 2007 Finalización, 2010 Apertura, and 2011 Apertura tournaments.

Following the acquisition by the Tylis–Porter Group, it was confirmed that as part of the terms of the operation, Seguros La Equidad would retain the rights to the name La Equidad, as well as the colors and identity, and that the club would be subject to a rebranding ahead of the 2026 season in order to reflect that decision, with press reports informing that the new owners had registered Internacional de Bogotá as a tentative name. The 2025 season was the last season played by La Equidad, which ended placing last in the aggregate table. It played its final match on 12 November 2025, defeating Deportivo Pereira 4–0.

The club's new identity was officially presented on 10 December 2025, confirming Internacional de Bogotá as the new name for the club, and white, black, and gold as its new colors, replacing the green used by La Equidad.
