SEATTLE - What was supposed to be a celebration ended up being a nightmare for thousands of people who went to the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to watch the Copa América 2024 final between Argentina and Colombia on Sunday. Security and police members were not able to prevent hundreds of ticketless fans from entering the stadium, a situation that led to chaos at the gates and the delaying of the game.
Hours after things calmed down following Argentina's victory and the raising of its 16th Copa América title, Daniella Levine Cava, mayor of Miami-Dade county, condemned the scenes at Hard Rock Stadium and pledged to conduct an investigation.
