Shakira to perform in Copa America final, Colombia to meet Messi and Argentina?

This is the question of Marca (Spain) and public opinion, after the promotional poster for the final match was published by the Copa America 2024 organizing committee on Instagram just a few hours before the semi-finals, on July 10. Accordingly, in the photo, Messi (Argentina team) and James Rodriguez (Colombia) are standing near the female singer Shakira. Meanwhile, Luis Suarez (Uruguay) and Alphonso Davies (Canada) are standing in the corners of the photo.

"This raises many questions for viewers. It can completely confuse fans, because everyone thinks that, most likely, the Copa America organizers want the final match to be between Colombia and Messi's Argentina," Marca expressed.

After this incident, to avoid questions, in the latest status on social network X (old Twitter) from the President of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), Mr. Alejandro Dominguez, only posted a photo with female singer Shakira performing in the final match.

Colombian singer Shakira is a loyal fan of the team nicknamed "La Tricolor". She always takes time to cheer on her team at every match of this year's Copa America across the United States. In the football world, everyone knows that Shakira once had a dream marriage with former player Gerard Pique (Spain). But the couple broke up in June 2022.

Shakira is very close to Messi's wife, Antonela Roccuzzo. After splitting with Pique, the 47-year-old singer moved to Florida (USA) to live with her children and returned to develop her massive music career. Shakira was very famous at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, when she performed the official songs of the tournament, "Waka Waka" and "La La La" respectively, which are still popular today.

Shakira's latest song, "Punteria," has been chosen as the official song for Copa America 2024. After a South American-inspired opening ceremony at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, featuring a performance by Colombian singer Feid, the Copa America 2024 closing ceremony will be performed by Shakira, and will be held at halftime, similar to the famous American sports event, the Super Bowl final.

Shakira was given a jersey and autographs by the Colombian team members.

In the semi-finals of the Copa America 2024, the Argentine team showed their superiority when they easily defeated the Canadian team with a score of 2-0 on July 10 to win the right to defend the championship in the final. In this match, Messi scored 1 goal, with the remaining goal scored by striker Julain Alvarez.

The other semi-final between Colombia and Uruguay will take place at 7am on July 11th, and promises to be a dramatic match to determine the remaining team in the final. The losing team will play for third place against Canada at 7am on July 14th.
