← 1957 1959 →

The 1958 Campeonato Profesional was the 11th season of Colombia's top-flight football league. After the previous season's multi-stage competition, the Campeonato Profesional returned to a single-stage format, with everyone playing each other 4 times over the season.
Independiente Santa Fe won the league for 2nd time in its history, 10 years after winning their 1st Compeonato, while defending champions Independiente Medellín did not compete.

Background

10 teams competed in the tournament, down from the previous season's 12, with Independiente Medellín and América de Cali withdrawing, while Boca Juniors de Cali refusing to participate in any further Dimayor tournaments. To balance their removal, Deportivo Manizales rejoined the competition.

League system

Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference. The team with the most points is the champion of the league.
