Watch Karol G sing the Colombian national anthem at the 2024 Copa América final match

Following a delay exceeding one hour caused by a crowd of non-ticket holders forcing their way into the stadium on Sunday (July 14), the 2024 Copa America final match between Argentina and Colombia for the championship trophy officially commenced at 9:15 p.m. ET.

 

In keeping with tradition, the national anthems of each country were performed before the big game: Karol G led Colombia’s anthem, while Abel Pintos sang Argentina’s.

Karol sported the iconic Colombian jersey paired with a black leather skirt and knee-high boots, accompanied by an enthusiastic crowd.

Pintos and Karol weren't the only music stars at the soccer tournament. Maluma, Feid, Ryan Castro, and Blessd were also seen in the stands, showing support for their national team.

Since the soccer tournament began on June 20, the Colombian and Argentine national teams have demonstrated their superiority on the field, eliminating strong competitors like Brazil, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Now, celebrated athletes such as Colombia’s James Rodriguez and Argentina’s Lionel Messi are competing for the 2024 championship title.

To date, Argentina has secured 15 Copa titles, whereas Colombia claimed one in 2001.
