Just hours before the decisive match between Argentina and Spain, thousands of spectators began to arrive at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where significant delays were reported for entering the venue.
The operation implemented for the final caused extensive lines at the entrances, with waits that, in some areas, exceeded two and a half hours. The large number of people and the strictness of the checks slowed down the entry of fans, journalists, and accredited personnel.
Unlike previous matches in the tournament, the security checks were under the supervision of U.S. security forces, due to the attendance of numerous officials, including President Donald Trump.
