Colombia's coach Nestor Lorenzo has expressed strong disapproval over the decision by CONMEBOL to extend halftime during the 2024 Copa America final to accommodate a performance by Colombian pop star Shakira. The halftime will be extended from the usual 15 minutes to 25 minutes, a change Lorenzo believes could negatively impact players' physical conditions. He noted the inconsistency, as teams have previously been sanctioned for delays in returning to the pitch. The final, taking place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, sees Colombia face reigning champions Argentina, with both teams vying for the title. Argentina's Lionel Messi, possibly playing his last major tournament, and Colombia's James Rodriguez, having a standout tournament, are key players to watch.
