Disorders in the stadium
Miami-Dade authorities are investigating the failures that led to the chaos, violence and destruction experienced at the 2024 Copa América final, in which many fans who bought tickets were unable to enter Sunday’s match and also suffered blows and fainting due to the high temperatures.
Hours before the start of the match, hundreds of people without tickets broke through security barriers, climbed over fences and jumped over the turnstiles to enter the venue, a situation that caused chaos, stampedes and forced the closure of the gates, as well as delaying the start of the match.
At least two other people were arrested after a crowd of ticketless fans attacked stadium employees and security teams to gain entry to the facilities, local media such as Telemundo reported.
Videos posted on social media showed fans jumping over gates in the southwest corner of the stadium in Miami Gardens and running to avoid being hit by law enforcement officers and staff.
There were even images of fans trying to enter through the stadium’s ventilation ducts.
