Colombian Football Federation denounces threats against Jáminton Campaz after World Cup elimination

These threats followed Colombia's elimination from the World Cup after a match against Switzerland in Vancouver, which ended in a 0-0 draw and a 4-3 penalty shootout loss. Campaz missed a clear scoring opportunity during the match, failing to convert a shot after a defensive error. The FCF expressed its full solidarity and support for Campaz and his family.

The incident brings back painful memories of the 1994 assassination of defender Andrés Escobar, who was killed weeks after scoring an own goal that led to Colombia's early exit from the World Cup in the United States.
