Copa America Final in Miami Delayed 75 Minutes Due to Security Breaches
Jul 15, 2024, 01:05 AM
The Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens faced significant disruptions due to security breaches. Thousands of fans without tickets attempted to forcibly enter the stadium, causing chaos and congestion. The situation escalated as fans tried to enter through ventilation systems, leading to all gates, including the Southwest gate, being temporarily closed by security. Local police and stadium security struggled to control the crowds, resulting in several arrests. The kickoff was delayed by 75 minutes due to these incidents. With around 300,000 Colombians residing in South Florida, the match was anticipated as a CONMEBOL Clasico. Despite the turmoil, the game eventually commenced, highlighting the challenges faced by organizers and raising concerns ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which the U.S. will co-host.
