The 2024 Copa América final was an international soccer match to determine the winners of the 2024 Copa América. The match was the 48th final of the Copa América, a quadrennial tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of CONMEBOL. The edition also featured teams from CONCACAF and was hosted in the United States. The match was played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on July 14, 2024.[3]
The match was delayed by over an hour and twenty minutes, due to a series of incidents which occurred near the stadium.[4][5]
The match was contested between defending champions Argentina, in their record-extending 30th final appearance, and Colombia, in only their third final. Of the 29 previous finals, Argentina won a joint-record 15 titles, while Colombia won their most recent final in 2001. This was Argentina's third major tournament final in row, after the 2021 Copa América and 2022 FIFA World Cup finals, a feat only achieved five times before, by West Germany (1972, 1974, 1976), Brazil (1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999), Spain (2008, 2010, 2012), Argentina themselves earlier on (2014, 2015, 2016) and Mexico (at the CONCACAF Gold Cup). Argentina defeated Colombia 1–0 after extra time to win a record-breaking 16th Copa América.[6]

Pre-match overcrowding
