Argentina and Colombia are set to play for the 2024 Copa America title in Miami Gardens’ Hard Rock Stadium. It was a smooth road to the final for Argentina, as they made short work against Canada, Chile, and Peru in the group stage, had hiccups against Ecuador, and would again defeat Canada in the semifinal to get to their fourth international final since 2021.
Colombia’s road included a huge match against Brazil in the group stage, a smooth win over Panama in the quarterfinals, but a grueling and best match of the tournament in the semifinal against Uruguay.
Now, more than 65,000 fans are expected to turn out to watch two of the most popular South American national teams in the United States fight for the championship in one of America’s Latin hubs, Miami.
