Coupe du monde 2026 : Jaminton Campaz victime de menaces de mort après l'élimination de la Colombie
Colombia's elimination in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup against Switzerland continues to generate strong emotions. Beyond the sporting disappointment, striker Jaminton Campaz is now at the center of a worrying situation after receiving death threats, as have several members of his family.
The 26-year-old, who plays for Rosario Central, had a difficult match. He missed a golden opportunity to secure qualification for Colombia in the final minutes of extra time. Despite successfully converting a penalty in the shootout, Colombia ultimately lost (0-0, 3-4 on penalties).
In response to this situation, the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) issued a statement strongly condemning the threats against the player. The federation called on the judicial authorities to open an investigation as soon as possible to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
"No athlete, nor any member of his entourage, should be subjected to intimidation for having defended the colours of his country," stressed the Federation, which offered its full support to the Colombian international.
This case stirs up painful memories in Colombian football. It recalls the tragedy of Andrés Escobar, assassinated in 1994 just days after scoring an own goal during the World Cup held in the United States. This tragic event remains etched in the country's memory and reinforces concerns today about the threats targeting Jaminton Campaz.
