Leones de Barranquilla (Barranquilla Lions) were a professional baseball team in the Colombian Professional Baseball League (LPB) based in Barranquilla. The team was originally founded in as the Leones de Cartagena before relocating to MonterÃÂa and winning three championships as Leones de MonterÃÂa from 2008 to 2019. The team then moved to Santa Marta for the 2019âÂÂ20 season.
For the 2021âÂÂ22 season, attempts were made to relocate the team to Villavicencio, according to Meta Department governor Juan Guillermo Zuluaga. However, these plans fell through, and the team did not participate in the 2021âÂÂ22 season.
Leones returned to the league for the 2023âÂÂ24 season under the ownership of ÃÂdinson RenterÃÂa; initially the team had hoped to return to Santa Marta, or alternatively relocate to Valledupar, but were unable to secure corporate sponsors for either move. The team was originally slated to participate in the 2025âÂÂ26 season, but withdrew weeks before the tournament due to difficulties securing sponsorships.
