MIAMI – Sunday will be extraordinary for the world’s billions of soccer fans who plan to watch four of the best teams compete in two finals. And it will be even more remarkable for the tens of thousands of fans who will witness the matches in person.
More than 60,000 privileged fans plan to witness this year’s Copa American Final in Miami-Dade County and over 74,000 fans are preparing to witness the European Championship’s final in Berlin, Germany.
Spain and England will play first for the European Championship’s first and second place at 3 p.m., at the Olympiastadion. Argentina and Colombia will play at 8 p.m., at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Miami-Dade County officials were preparing for the large crowds at 347 Don Shula Drive, in Miami Gardens, and released a list of tips for foreigners who may not be used to the weather or the stadium’s restrictions.
The stadium prohibits fireworks, flares, explosives, ammunition, or any other incendiary items or devices.
