Colombian Federation Condemns Threats Against Jaminton Campaz

Elimination Triggers Death Threats

Colombia’s exit from the tournament came via a penalty shoot‑out loss to Switzerland. Shortly after the defeat, player Jaminton Campaz and members of his family began receiving death threats online. The unsettling messages surfaced on social media and have sparked widespread outrage.

The Colombian Football Federation released a firm statement rejecting the intimidation directed at Campaz, his relatives, and any athlete who dons the national squad. In their official response, the federation described the threats as an attack on the very spirit of the game.

They urged the justice system to pursue swift legal action against those responsible. The organization also reaffirmed that football should remain a unifying force, not a platform for harassment. This stance highlights the ongoing need to protect players from retaliation after high‑stakes matches.
