Copa America final ended up being a scene of hooliganism as people attempted to force their way into the stadium.
Numerous viral videos shared on social platforms have left the fans fuming at the organizers. The event, similar to the chaos seen after the Colombia match, sparked demand for the 2026 World Cup not to be hosted in the USA.

World Cup Concerns
The 2026 World Cup will take place between June 11 and July 19 and will be held across 16 cities in Canada, Mexico, and the US. It will also be the first time three countries are hosting the World Cup and the first in North America since 1994.
Nevertheless, the disorganisation at the present at the 2024 Copa America has become a concern.
The final was delayed for 20 minutes because of the mess, which is absolutely inadmissible, especially after the semi final when the Uruguayan players had to interfere.

In a recent report from Sportsbuddy, Liverpool and Uruguay striker Darwin Nunez was involved in a scuffle with the fans after the Uruguay’s Copa America elimination by Colombia. The tension rose even more after the final whistle with Colombia emerging as 1-0 winners thanks to Jefferson Lerma’s header in the 39th minute.
Copa America Final Anticipation
The clash between Argentina and Colombia should be another tough match to meet. Colombia has not been defeated in more than 20 games and Argentina has not lost in 13 games.
Former Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez has been among the standout players in the tournament. Sports enthusiasts are able to look forward to this high-stake match even though there are organizational problems surrounding the event.
