Multiple lawsuits have been filed by fans against South American soccer's governing body CONMEBOL and the operators of Hard Rock Stadium in the wake of the chaos surrounding Sunday's Copa América final.

The complainants claim that they purchased tickets for the final but that crowd-control issues prevented them from entering the stadium.

The first suit was filed on Monday by Jaqueline Martinez against South Florida Stadium LLC (Hard Rock Stadium) and the Confederacion Sudamerica de Futbol (CONMEBOL) in the Circuit Court for the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County.

A second suit was filed on Wednesday by Marta Pintos, Eduardo Martinez and Nicolas Osorio against the same defendants.
