The Copa America 2024 final between Colombia and Argentina was marred by unexpected riots prior to the match. Some fans attempted to enter Hard Rock Stadium without tickets, leading to clashes with Miami police and widespread criticism of the event’s organization. FCF president Ramon Jesurun and his son were arrested after the match following clashes with Miami police.
A Miami-Dade Police Department arrest report states that Ramon Jesurun and his 43-year-old son, Ramon Jamil Jesurun, are accused of fighting multiple security guards who were holding people back from a tunnel where media had gathered shortly after the match ended. For this reason, only AFA president Claudio Tapia was present and the Colombian president was not seen at the awards ceremony.
The Mexican media, Fox Sports, revealed a video through its social networks, where it can be seen that the president of the FCF, Jesurun and other people, were not allowed to enter the stadium, which is why they ended up confronting the U.S. police.
Colombian Soccer Federation president was not present at the awards ceremony because he was detained by authorities prior to last night’s CA Final. Fox Sports Mexico has a video showing the altercation that the president and his son were involved in.
✅ Muchos se preguntaron porqué Ramón Jesurún no estuvo en la premiacion, la razón es que fue detenido por una pelea antes del partido ante Argentina 🇦🇷 En este video de Fox Sports México, se vió bastante alterado y teniendo que ser retirado por la policía. ¡QUÉ VERGÜENZA!
