The Categoría Primera C was the third division of the Colombian football league system. It was created in 1991 by DIMAYOR, and was managed by Difútbol (División Aficionada del Fútbol Colombiano) until its disappearance in 2010.
Primera C was mostly composed by amateur and reserve teams. When Primera C began in 1991, there was a system of promotions and demotions between it and Primera B. This system ceased from 2002 when, for administrative and economic reasons, the Primera C tournament was not played.
