JAKARTA - The South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) as the organizer of the 2024 Copa America condemns the acts of violence that occurred after the semifinal match between Uruguay vs Colombia on Thursday, July 11, 2024, morning WIB.

After the match, it was discovered that Colombia supporters clashed with a number of Uruguayan players, including Darwin Nunez, captain Jose Maria Gimenez, and Ronald Araujo.

They wanted to save the families who were caught in riots between supporters in the stands. However, when they were about to visit their families, some of the Uruguayan players were held by Colombian fans so that clashes were inevitable.

The riots subsided after security officers intervened. Responding to the incident, Conmebol promised that his party would conduct an investigation.

"Our work is based on the belief that football connects and unites us through its positive values."

"There is no place for intolerance and violence on and off the pitch," Conmebol said.

Furthermore, Conmebol hopes that similar incidents will not happen again. The Copa America should have given birth to joy.

The 2024 Copa America has reached the final round. Argentina and Colombia met in the top party.

Conmebol asked similar riots not to occur in the final match and all supporters must provide positive support.

"We invite everyone in the remaining days to devote all their enthusiasm to cheer up their national team and hold an unforgettable party," Conmebol said again.
