A Message From CONMEBOL

A message from CONMEBOL on the Copa América™ Final

July 15, 2024
CONMEBOL Copa América™

We congratulate the finalist of CONMEBOL COPA AMERICA 2024™️, Argentina and Colombia, for the great final played yesterday.


Yesterday, the most challenging tournament in history organized by CONMEBOL together with Concacaf concluded, reaching record figures in venues, attendance, audience, and staff dedicated to its organization, with more than 42,000 collaborators.


As it is already known, during the final held in Miami, fans without tickets went to the stadium's vicinity, which delayed the normal access of people who did have tickets, slowing down the entry and leading to the closure of doors.


In this situation, CONMEBOL was subject to the decisions made by the Hard Rock Stadium authorities, according to the contractual responsibilities established for security operations.


In addition to the preparations determined in this contract, CONMEBOL recommended to these authorities the procedures proven in events of this magnitude, which were NOT taken into account.


We regret that the acts of violence caused by malicious individuals have tarnished a final that was ready to be a great sports celebration.
