How much is Shakira paid for singing at Copa América final?
Shakira's moved on to 'Te Felicito' for her second halftime song, her track with Rauw Alejandro.
Wondering how much it takes to book Shakira for an event like this? Here's everything you need to know...
How much is Shakira paid?
Shakira takes to the stage!
First up, it's 'Hips Don't Lie' from the Colombian singer in the first-ever Copa America halftime show.
Another record for Lionel Messi!
A fifth Copa America final for the Argentina captain, will tonight's be his second win? The loss in the 2016 final was so devastating Lionel Messi announced his international retirement immediately after the defeat. Fortunately he changed his mind soon after and returned to lift the trophy in 2021.
Shakira's halftime show is coming up now
Next up this evening is a performance from a supremely-talented, globally-adored Colombian.
Nope, James Rodriguez isn't coming out early to do some keep-uppies. We're about to see Shakira's Copa America halftime show performance.

Shakira’s Copa América halftime show: Performers, setlist, how to watch
There is no shortage of Colombian stars on show this evening, but few draw a crowd like singer Shakira who will be performing in the halftime show. Here’s what we know about her performance, including a sneak peak at her Copa America setlist…
Shakira's Copa America halftime show
Next up, Shakira's halftime show
For the first time ever we'll have a halftime show in the Copa America final. We think that organisers have decided to extend the halftime break to 20 minutes to allow for a longer musical spectacle.
That might give Argentina more time to treat Lionel Messi's injury.
Halftime in the Copa America final
It's all square at the break! Colombia have had the better of the play but Argentina have created chances too.
It's all to play for at Hard Rock Stadium.
Rare burst of high-pressing from Lionel Messi nearly catches the Colombian backline out. The ball falls loose but Davinson Sanchez gets back to recover.
We'll have one minute of added time at the end of the first half.
It's a good cross and it finds the head of Tagliafico but the full-back's effort is over the bar.
Good work from Nicolas Tagliafico, charging in-field and winning a free kick for his team.
It's around 15 yards from the box, on the left flank. A good chance for Messi to delivery with quality here...
Argentina sweep the ball out to Enzo Fernandez on the right. He whips in a cross but it's easily blocked. Colombia try to clear but Argentina come straight back at them.
The world champions building some momentum now.
For the first time Argentina play easily through the Colombian midfield but a poor pass from Alvarez loses possession. We haven't really seen any consistency in the play from Argentina so far.
Ok, Lionel Messi is now back on the field but he's moving a little gingerly. He's hugging the left flank now, right in front of the coaches and medical staff.
Is Lionel Messi injured?
The 37-year-old is now off the field while the game continues. He's up and walking but is receiving treatment from the medical staff.
Potential injury to Lionel Messi
The Argentina captain is receiving medical treatment on the field now. He seems to be struggling with his right ankle, which got clamped under the challenge from Arias.
Sharp interplay from Argentina allows Lionel Messi to dart into the box. The angle is narrowed and he runs out of space to play a cross. He goes down under a challenge from Santiago Arias.
No foul, but Messi's in pain here.
The corner kick is swung in by James Rodriguez but easily repelled. He tries another delivery but the linesman flags for an offside in the middle.
Argentina regain possession.
Lionel Messi loses the ball with a poor touch and Colombia come straight back on the attack. Luis Diaz is repelled but the ball ends up back with Jefferson Lerma, who forces a smart save from Martinez from 35 yards.
Corner kick to Colombia...
Colombia are continuing to pin Argentina back in their own half, dominating the game. They haven't forged any real clear-cut chances but you sense that those openings are coming.
Jhon Cordoba
The Colombian striker is booked for a late challenge on Lisandro Martinez.
Colombia have a chance to break and work the ball out to Diaz on the left. He runs into traffic in the middle but Colombia retain possession and enjoy a spell of the ball inside the Argentina half.

Return to form for Lionel Messi
He's looked a little off the pace for much of this summer's Copa America but Lionel Messi has started well this evening. He's already manufactured a chance for himself and has looked dangerous with his passing whenever he's on the ball.
Argentina are hassled by the Colombian attackers and Tagliafico has no option but to punt the ball out for a throw-in. Nestor Lorenzo's side look like an absolute nightmare to play against.
They may outnumbered numerically but the Argentinian contingent are really making their presence heard inside Hard Rock Stadium now.
Big chance for Lionel Messi!
Messi does well to work the ball out to Di Maria on the left, who pulls the ball back for his old friend. Messi pounces on the opportunity and fires at goal but strikes teammate Alvarez and the chance is gone.
That's better from Argentina, though.
There's now a spell of possession, a chance for Lionel Scaloni's side to get a grip of the game. They will be hoping to calm the largely-Colombian crowd and play their way into the game.
Argentina look a little off the pace in the opening minutes, unable to deal with the physicality of this Colombian side. We might see some more robust challenges going in before too long.
James Rodriguez curls in a cross but it's too deep and Martinez comes out to claim comfortably.
Four of James' six assists at this summer's tournament have come from set pieces. A big chance for him to deliver from the right here...
James Rodriguez is already having a real influence on this game, finding pockets of space within this busy Argentina midfield. He really is a lovely player to watch.
And with that, Alexis Mac Allister hacks him down in midfield. Free kick to Colombia.
Colombia continue to push and Arias forces a dramatic clearance from Lisandro Martinez with another teasing cross. Argentina clear the resultant corner kick.
A rare poor touch for Angel di Maria as he fails to control a raking diagonal pass. Is there another finals goal for him tonight, on his final Argentina appearance?
Another good move from Colombia with Arias on the right flank. He curls a cross into the middle but Cordoba can't get his header on target.
Argentina looking a bit rattled here...
Big chance for Cordoba!
Clever touch from James Rodriguez to slip away from Alvarez and make room for himself.
James lifts a pass forward and it lands at the feet of Jhon Cordoba, whose volleys effort is just wide of the post. So close!
Luis Diaz picks up the ball on the left for Colombia and charges at the Argentina backline. He cuts inside onto his right foot but his tame effort is easily saved by Emi Martinez.
Argentina try to break and Messi clips a pass over the Colombia defence for Alvarez. The City man scurries forward but the ball hits him on the back of the head and bounces away from him.
The outswinging corner is easily defended and Colombian win a goal kick after some good defensive work from James Rodriguez.
Argentina win a corner kick as Tagliafico skips past Arias on the left flank. Sanchez comes across to block for Colombia.
Messi trots across to take the corner...
Fast start in Miami as Colombia come forward now with Luis Diaz. His run comes to nothing, but he'll be a real danger man for Colombia tonight.
Early opening for Argentina!
Brilliant footwork from Messi gets Argentina clear down the right flank. The ball is swung into the middle but Alvarez can't connect cleanly and his effort trickles wide.
Good start from Scaloni's team.
And we're off!
Argentina get us underway at Hard Rock Stadium...
Another look at the Argentina and Colombia team news
In fairness, it's been a while since the lineups were confirmed. There's no real surprises for either team in the Copa America final. The only real decision was Colombia's replacement for the suspended Daniel Monuz. Santiago Arias comes in to replace him.
Now onto the anthems
Everyone rise for the two national anthems. First up, Argentina...
Teams are out for Copa America final!
Both Argentina and Colombia take to the field at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami. There were chaotic scenes in the build-up but that lengthy delay looks to have allowed all fans to enter the stadium and the stands are packed.
What an occasion!

Shakira’s message after Colombia reach Copa América final 2024
Shakira has given a message of support to her Colombian compatriots ahead of the Copa America final against Argentina. “See you this Sunday at the Copa América final!” she posted on social media after Colombia’s hard-fought semi-final victory over Uruguay, hinting at her own performance in Miami.
Shakira will be performing at the first ever Copa America halftime show, taking to the stage at Hard Rock Stadium.

Lionel Messi looking sharp for Argentina
Kickoff is fast approaching now and both teams have now returned to the locker rooms before making the big entrance. Just minutes earlier Lionel Messi was out on the turf, warming up alongside his Argentina teammates.
It's difficult to know how this lengthy delay will affect both teams. You'd imagine that Argentina, with vast experience in finals, are better-able to deal with the disruption.

Nestor Lorenzo: "We need to be the best Colombia"
Nestor Lorenzo is just 90 minutes form immortality, leading Colombia to just the second major trophy in their history. Speaking to reporters this week he was confident, but under no illusions about the scale of the challenge.
"We need to be the best Colombia, the best version, to beat Argentina, the champions of everything," Lorenzo said ahead of the final. "To win against Argentina we have to be very well prepared, because they are the champions, it will be a very demanding match”

James Rodriguez stars for Colombia
The renaissance of James Rodriguez has been one of the absolute joys of this summer's Copa America. The 32-year-old was recalled to the national team by Nestor Lorenzo and has shown his talents for Colombia, recording six assists in his first five games of this year's tournament.
Is there a historic crowning performance to come from James?
Right then, back to the Copa America action
With the players back on the field I think we can safely assume that we will get some on-pitch action fairly soon. So, let's take a look at Colombia, who are targeting their second-ever international trophy.
Despite that inglorious past Colombia come into the game on an incredible run of form, having not lost a game since head coach Nestor Lorenzo took over in June 2022. Over that time El tri have claimed a number of prestigious scalps. Colombia beat Germany (2-0) and Spain (1-0) in friendlies and overcame Brazil (2-1) in a World Cup qualifier in November last year.

BREAKING: Kickoff pushed back to 9:15pm
What do you want first, the good news or the bad news?
OK the bad news is that kickoff has been pushed back to 9:15pm (ET), a 75-minute delay on the scheduled start time. But the good news is that both teams have resumed their warmups and the stadium is filling nicely. We should be good to go without any further delays.
Colombia are out at Hard Rock Stadium!
And now Nestor Lorenzo's side are out to resume their preparations.
The stands are filling up nicely and there's a huge Colombian contingent in the house.
Argentina take to the field!
Finally, some good news! The Argentina players resume their warmups at Hard Rock Stadium, suggesting that kickoff is now approaching. We'll likely see another delay on the current 8:45pm (ET) kickoff time, but there shouldn't be too much more to wait.
What's the latest at Hard Rock Stadium?
Well, ten minutes out from the rescheduled kickoff time there is still no sign of either team on the field. The stands are starting to fill up but, without warm-ups underway on the turf, if hard to see this one starting in the next 11 minutes.
It looks almost certain that we'll have to have another delay here. This must be a logistical nightmare for players and coaches, forced to put their preparations on pause for an hour.
Copa America kickoff time pushed back to 8:45pm
Here we go. As expected, the start time has been updated to 8:45pm local time, a 45-minute delay on the initial kickoff time. It looks like things are moving in the right direction though, the stands of Hard Rock Stadium are starting to fill up.

Tickets for Argentina - Colombia Copa América final: prices and where to buy
Ticketless fans have been the issue so far this evening and ticketing has been a problem throughout the tournament. Organisers have pushed up prices for this year's tournament and there is a concern that supporters are being priced out.
Of course, this does not excuse the actions of the fans who stormed the stadium earlier today.

What time is kickoff in the Copa America final?
As it stands, the start time is still set for the slightly delayed time of 8:30pm (ET) but that's looking increasingly likely. We're less than 20 minutes away from that time but there are still no players on the field to resume their warm-ups.
It looks almost certain that the kickoff will have to be pushed back once again.
Watch: Fans tackled by police at Copa America final
Bedlam erupted at Hard Rock Stadium as police were forced to crack down on gate crashers. Dozens of fans without tickets were able to breach the perimeter and make it into the concourse area of the venue. Officials are now dealing with a security issue because those intruders will not have been subject to the normal checks upon entry.
Chaos continues outside Hard Rock Stadium
Local police, who have got a thankless task this evening, are still struggling to deal with the fallout from the breaching of the stadium perimeter. Kickoff is set for 25 minutes but it's unclear if we'll be able to get underway as scheduled.
Let's see how tonight unfolds...
Law enforcement release statement on Copa America delay
“We have had several incidents prior to the gates opening at Hard Rock Stadium for the Copa America final game."
“These incidents have been a result of the unruly behavior of fans trying to access the stadium.
“We are asking everyone to be patient, and abide by the rules set by our officers and Hard Rock Stadium personnel. We are actively working with Hard Rock Stadium to ensure a safe environment for all those attending. Unruly behavior will get you ejected and/or arrested."

Heading into this final there is very little to choose between the two teams. Argentina, the reigning World Cup and Copa America champions, have incredible pedigree but they come up against a Colombia side in red-hot form. Colombia have not lost a single game in Nestor Lorenzo’s two years in charge and they have beaten the likes of Spain, Germany and Brazil in that time. If tonight’s game ends even, here’s what to expect…

Official CONMEBOL statement on Copa America delay
The Copa America organisers have reiterated that it was the actions of ticketless fans that has sparked the issues at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Questions will have to be asked of the organisers' ability to deal with large, impassioned crowds like we see this evening.
Arrests made as fans storm Copa América final
Chaos at Hard Rock Stadium as Colombian fans breach the gates at the Copa América final. The game has been delayed by 30 minutes as a result, highlighting the extent of the trouble in Miami.
It remains to be seen how the delay will affect tonight's on-field action.
Confirmation of Copa America final delay
Argentina and Colombia players were halfway through their warmup when the decision to delay the game was made. Both teams were then forced to leave the field and return to the locker room.

Why is the Copa America final delayed?
This was the scene at Hard Rock Stadium in the last hour, ticketless fans streaming through a breached gate and into the stadium. This caused the gate to be closed by police and fans with tickets are struggling to enter the venue.
As a result, kickoff has been pushed back to 8:30pm local time. That's a delay of 30 minutes.
Players escorted off the field during warm-up!
In a move believed to be related to the earlier crowd trouble, the teams' pregame preparations have been halted. The stadium is reportedly on lockdown.
Chaotic scenes in Miami!
Argentina boss ready for Copa America final
"It's a final and each one has its nuances. Our football is not going to change. One of the nice things about football is that you can plan a match and then it turns out very different. We have to try not to miss any detail”
"The final finds us in a good moment. I don't think the team has played worse than it had been doing before, taking into account the rivals and the heat. I don't know if it's the best moment, but we're doing well.”

When was the last time Colombia won an international trophy?
Along time ago.
The only major tournament win in Colombia’s history came in 2001, when they lifted Copa America on home soil. However even that triumph comes with a slight asterisk.
The tournament was beset by issues after concern about security in Colombia, with the Copa initially cancelled before subsequently reinstated. As such, Argentina did not send a team and many of Brazil’s star players did not travel to Colombia to compete. However Colombia did manage to hold the tournament and came out on top, finishing as champions without conceding a single goal.

Copa America final marred by fan trouble
Officials are dealing with a serious incident ahead of the Copa America final. We don't yet know whether all gates have been reopened at the stadium but a large backlog of ticketed fans has started to grow at the southeast side of the stadium.
It remains to be seen if the kickoff time, now just 40 minutes away, will need to be pushed back.

Who will win Golden Ball at Copa America?
Well, at the moment there's a clear winner. James Rodriguez's career looked to be fading out until a recall to the national team saw him rediscover his best form. Given license to roam freely by Nestor Lorenzo, James has laid on a Copa America-record six assists in this summer's tournament and leads the Sofascore ratings.
Does he have one more key contribution to give today?
Is this the Argentina team for the Copa America final?
Argentinian journalist Gaston Edul is rarely wrong about these sort of things. He expects Argentina to start with the same front six that started the 2022 World Cup final against France. Angel di Maria is expected to start in his final game for the national team, alongside Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez.
Preparations underway in Miami
Will this be the last time that we see the famous 'Messi 10' Argentina jersey in a final? Lionel Messi is looking to lead his team to a historic third consecutive major title today, a feat only achieved by the iconic Spain team of 2008-2012.

Colombia leave for Hard Rock Stadium, Miami
After having just 72 to recover from their exhausting semi-final victory over Uruguay, Nestor Lorenzo's Colombia must now face their greatest test. His side are just two hours away from kickoff in the 2024 Copa America final and they are on the way to the stadium now.
Since taking over in the summer of 2022, after Colombia failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar, Lorenzo has overseen an incredible turnaround in the national team’s fortunes. The appointment of an Argentine was controversial in Colombia but his team’s performances have got the country on his side, leading Colombia to an incredible 28-game unbeaten streak.
Colombia legend Radamel Falcao sends his support
Former Atletico Madrid, Porto and Manchester United forward Radamel Falcao remains Colombia's all-time record goalscorer. He's no longer a part of the national team set-up but the iconic forward has sent a message to the team ahead of today's final.
"Your selection, mine, everyone's selection... God bless you guys! Let's go Colombia" he writes.

Argentina take on Colombia in the Copa America final
Few would argue that Argentina and Colombia are the two strongest teams in this summer's competition, both of whom boast impressive records in recent years.
Argentina are the holders of both the World Cup and Copa America, and are looking to become just the second team in international soccer History to win three consecutive trophies.
Meanwhile Colombia are on an incredible 28-game unbeaten run under head coach Nestor Lorenzo, a spell that has seen them beat the likes of Brazil, Spain and Germany. They are looking to end their 23-year wait for silverware.
