Defending champions Argentina defeats Colombia 1–0 record-breaking 16th Copa Title
The 2024 Copa América final was an international soccer match that determined the winners of the CONMEBOL 2024 Copa América. The highly anticipated match was played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, on July 14, 2024. However, the kickoff was delayed by over an hour and twenty minutes due to overcrowding and other incidents that occurred near the stadium.
Defending champions Argentina emerged victorious, defeating Colombia 1–0 after extra time to claim their record-breaking 16th Copa América title. This marked Argentina’s 30th final appearance, further extending their record, and was Colombia’s third Copa América final. Before the match, Argentina had won a joint-record 15 titles out of 29 finals, and Colombia’s most recent final win was in 2001.
This victory also marked Argentina’s third consecutive major tournament triumph, following wins in the 2021 Copa América and the 2022 FIFA World Cup, a streak previously only achieved by Spain. The win cemented Argentina’s dominance in the tournament and solidified their position as one of the top soccer teams in the world.
