Argentina v Colombia: Copa América final postponed, players return to pitch to warm up

The 2024 Copa América final between Argentina and Colombia was postponed due to a crowd of fans outside the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which caused the gates to be temporarily closed. The gates were eventually reopened after a tense situation between fans and officials outside the stadium. Security guards reportedly did not check tickets and the stadium was filled as more fans made their way inside.

CONMEBOL postponed the start of the match due to problems with fans getting into the stadium. This was due to the crowd breaching some of the gates and subsequently closing them.
