The 2025 Copa Bolivia, known as the 2025 Copa Paceña for sponsorship purposes,[1] is the second edition of the Copa Bolivia, Bolivia's football cup competition, which is contested by the 16 teams that take part in the Bolivian Primera División for its 2025 season. The competition began on 29 April and is scheduled to end in December 2025.[2]

Format

The competition, which will be played on weekdays and concurrently with the 2025 División Profesional tournament, will feature five stages: a group stage, a play-off round, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. In the group stage, the 16 participating teams were drawn into four groups and will play 14 matches, two against each one of their group rivals, as well as two against their derby rival (which was drawn into a different group) and six interzonal matches, facing one team from each of the other groups twice. The four group winners will advance to the quarter-finals, whilst the teams placing in second and third place in the four groups will play a play-off round over two legs to decide the other four quarter-finalists, who will face the group winners in the quarter-finals.[3] The two semi-final winners will eventually play the final, with the champions being awarded a berth into the 2026 Copa Libertadores and the runners-up qualifying for the 2026 Copa Sudamericana.[4]

If teams tie in points after two legs in the play-off round, regardless of the aggregate score or goal difference, a penalty shoot-out will be played to decide the winning team, whilst for the other knockout rounds (quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final), a penalty shoot-out will be held only if there is no winner by points or goal difference.[5]

Draw

The draw for the competition was held on 3 April 2025 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. The 16 teams were drawn into four groups of four teams, being also assigned a row (1–4) within their group which decided which teams they will play as interzonal rivals.[6]
