Argentina, the current champions of both the World Cup and Copa América, will face Colombia, unbeaten in 28 matches since 2022, in the final of the 2024 Copa América. This exciting match will take place on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Originally scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET, the kickoff has been postponed to 9:15 p.m. ET due to fans rushing the gates, causing a delay.
Colombia has maintained its unbeaten streak throughout the tournament with a record of 2-1-0 in the group stage. They then beat Brazil on penalties, crushed Panama 5-0, and eliminated Uruguay with a 1-0 victory in the semifinals. The last team to defeat Colombia was Argentina, whose 1-0 win over them in the 2022 South American World Cup qualifiers contributed to Colombia missing out on the World Cup in Qatar.
Conversely, Argentina’s victory in the qualifiers helped them secure a spot in the World Cup, which they won via penalties against France. Argentina’s domination began with their 2021 Copa América win, led by Lionel Messi, which ended a 28-year trophy drought.
This final marks the first time in the tournament’s 108-year history that Argentina and Colombia will meet in the Copa América final. An Argentine victory would secure a record 16th Copa América title, while Colombia seeks its second championship win.
