Supercopa de Chile

Universidad de Chile was scheduled to face the 2024 Chilean Primera División champions Colo-Colo on 25 January 2025 at Estadio La Portada in La Serena.[7] However, four days before the date the match was scheduled to be played the ANFP announced its suspension as it had not been granted authorization by the Presidential Delegation of the Coquimbo Region to hold the event.[8] On 29 January, ANFP president Pablo Milad confirmed that the Supercopa would change its format and would be contested over two legs, being tentatively rescheduled for July 2025.[9]
