- Colombian footballer Jaminton Campaz and his family have received death threats after he missed a critical scoring opportunity during a World Cup match against Switzerland.
- Colombia was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 16 following a penalty shootout loss to Switzerland, where Campaz's shot went wide in extra time.
- Following the match, Campaz's social media was flooded with negative comments and threats, leading him to limit comments and not return to Colombia with his teammates.
- The Colombian football federation has condemned the threats, stating that no athlete should face intimidation for representing their country, and urged an investigation by the attorney general's office.
- The incident recalls the 1994 murder of Colombian defender Andrés Escobar, who was killed days after scoring an own-goal in the World Cup.
