Colombia Football Federation president Ramón Jesurún and his son, Ramón Jamil Jesurún, are facing battery charges on a specified official or employee after being arrested by Miami-Dade police at Hard Rock Stadium following the 2024 Copa América final.

The two men were booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just after 4:10 a.m. Monday, according to jail records. The father, 71, and son, 43, are accused of fighting multiple security guards at one of the stadium's tunnels used for the media as they tried to gain access to the field, according to the arrest report.

Jesurún and his son posted bond and left the Miami-Dade facility after appearing in front of a judge Monday afternoon.
