The 2024 Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia, scheduled to kick off at 8 PM EST, was delayed over an hour as fans stormed the stadium gates in a bid to attend without tickets.
Despite police efforts to clear non-ticket holders, some fans persisted in trying to sneak into the stadium, including those with valid tickets fearing denial of entry.
Videos from various sources depicted alarming scenes of fan misconduct during entry. Some were seen climbing in and out of the stadiumâs ventilation system, while others attempted to scale fences. Instances of vandalism also occurred amidst the chaos.
