Botellín

**Botellín** is a fictional Colombian city in the *Narios FC* universe that provides the central setting for the series. The city is home to Narios FC, who play their matches at El Còrdoba-León Megaplex located uptown in La Plaza del Monterrey. It is a port city, situated along the fictional Uribe Coast on the Gulf of Mexico.

The city is divided by a number of districts, or "plazas", and features a moderately sized financial district near its center. Quite unusual, the word "plaza" is used in Botellín to refer to districts; the word used for plazas is "colibríes". La Plaza de la Rosa is the largest plaza in the city. It is found in the southern section, and features the majority of the residential areas of Botellín.
