2024 Copa América final

The 2024 Copa América final was an international soccer game to decide the winners of the 2024 Copa América. The game was played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on July 14, 2024. The start of the game was delayed by over an hour and twenty minutes because of too many people and other problems near the stadium.

Defending champion Argentina beat Colombia 1–0 after extra time to win its 16th Copa América title, which is a record. This was Argentina's 30th final, adding to its record, and Colombia's third Copa América final. Before the game, Argentina had won 15 titles out of 29 finals, and Colombia's last final win was in 2001. It was also Argentina's third major tournament win in a row, after winning the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a streak previously achieved only by Spain (2008, 2010, and 2012) and Argentina itself (1945, 1946, and 1947).https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/sachamp.html
