Equity, One of the most representative clubs in the capital having 42 years of history, has begun to restructure after the purchase of the Tylis-Porter investment group, which at the end of 2024 decided to buy the institution that was born thanks to the insurer that bears the current name.
One of the investment group plans is to change the name and shield, something that seemed to be maintained, but the insurer Seguros La Equidad decided to approve all the necessary adjustments after the purchase, so the new owners began to devise the new brand.
The name of Bogotá International Together with his shield he generated some controversy in Colombian football, due to his similarity with Inter de Palmira, but to clear doubts about what the real name will be, the launch of the new brand and since when will that important image restructuring, the president and CEO Nicolás Maya of the Bogota team, announced in an interview with the program Vbar of Caracol Radio. Details about those adjusted adjustments.
Equity image change process
Maya made it clear that el Investor Group approved the name and shield modifications, but all endorsed by the insurer, so It is expected that, since January 2026 that adjustment beginsbut the launch will be made no later than the second semester of 2025.
“The change begins in 2026, the second semester of 2025 will continue to be a sports club La Equidad. The change will not occur until January 2026. Second, it is a change that occurs as part of the negotiation between insurance, and we, ”said Maya.
Similarly, it made clear the good relationship they have with the insurer, despite the changes, because “they, in their criteria, say that they want the club to be called different, since they will not be the owners of the club.”
As for the name, the manager said he is not defined, because the subject is being discussed well, But he did not rule out “Inter or International of Bogotá that are good options.”

Owners would come to Colombia to the image launch
Nicolás Maya also said that some investors of the Tylis-Porter group intend to come to Colombia to see the project closely, but the occupied agenda makes it complex, but the idea is that they can be in the launch of the new brand.
“They really want to come and get involved in the process. We also want to take advantage of it with the launch of a new brand and the new name. It is something that we have to square with time because they have a difficult agenda,” Maya explained.
Now, you have to wait if Equity finally becomes officially called International of Bogotá, despite criticism or if the owners decide to make any adjustment prior to the launch, but the truth is that equity in 2026 will not exist more.
