Copa America chaos: After fans storm stadium, concerns raised about World Cup

The U.S. and Canada are preparing to host the World Cup in 2026. But after the mayhem at Sunday’s Copa America finals in Miami, there are concerns North America may not be ready.

The championship match between Argentina and Colombia was delayed for more than an hour after thousands of ticketless fans stormed the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, trying to force their way in through air vents and over fences.

In less than two years, Toronto’s BMO Field and Vancouver’s BC Place are slated to host a number of men’s World Cup matches, and security is expected to be a key concern and a major cost driver.

As Mike Armstrong reports, critics say the kind of chaos at the Copa America over the weekend should serve as a warning.
