Copa America Final Delayed Over Hour by Chaos

The Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami was marred by significant crowd control issues, leading to a delay of over an hour. Thousands of ticketless fans stormed the gates, causing gates to be closed and re-opened strategically, resulting in overcrowding and chaos inside the stadium, with reports of broken escalators and vandalism. Many ticket holders were unable to enter, while others without tickets managed to get inside. The situation raised concerns about security and organizational lapses, particularly as the venue is set to host the 2026 World Cup. Miami-Dade officials and stadium authorities have promised a thorough review to prevent future incidents.
