Before kick-off of the Argentina vs Canada Copa America opener, a woman was seen posing alongside the referees. Her identity has now been revealed. The 2024 Copa America began earlier this month as Argentina secured a solid 2-0 win over Canada. However, a bizarre incident took place before the game as a mysterious woman was spotted in the middle of the referees’ lineup.
The Copa America opener took place in Atlanta after a spectacular opening ceremony. However, a woman, who was not involved in the game, was seen posing with the match officials for a photograph.
The identity of that woman is Morena Beltran, who is an Argentine journalist and has a massive following on social media. She is a bright and intelligent woman who has close ties with several Argentina players.
Beltran was invited by Coca-Cola, the official sponsor of the tournament. She was involved as an ambassador for the Copa America. Beltran has over 500K followers on Twitter and 2.1m followers on Instagram. She has a close relationship with several Argentine players and was previously associated with Sergio Aguero’s team in the Queens League.
Her presence on the opening day of the Copa America sparked a lot of curiosity among fans due to her unexpected role that day. However, Beltran went on to explain herself on Instagram as she disclosed that she was invited by Coca-Cola as an ambassador for the event.
Argentina went on to earn a 2-0 victory over Canada in the opening match thanks to a goal each from Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez. Only time will tell whether the South American nation can retain their Copa America crown in the United States of America this summer.
