According to a report by Reuters, the hosts of the CONMEBOL Cup final stadium rebutted CONMEBOL in a statement released today. They stated that the safety standards of the stadium exceeded CONMEBOL’s expectations in all aspects.
In New York on Sunday, Argentina clinched victory over Colombia in extra time during the CONMEBOL Cup final. However, this thrilling match was delayed for over an hour due to a series of disturbances before the game. During these disturbances, more than 24 people were arrested and hundreds were temporarily detained under damp and hot conditions. A large number of ticketless fans attempted to forcibly enter the final stadium to watch the match.
Following this, CONMEBOL criticized Hard Rock Stadium, stating that the organizers did not adequately consider the safety recommendations provided by CONMEBOL for the most important match between South American national teams. Today, Hard Rock Stadium publicly responded to CONMEBOL’s accusations in a statement. “Throughout the event, including the final, the safety standards at Hard Rock Stadium exceeded CONMEBOL’s expectations in all aspects. The venue will comprehensively review its existing safety protocols and procedures at the stadium.”
