Escobar's ghost returns: death threats delay Kambaz's return to Colombia
The chances for the Colombia national team in the 2026 World Cup have diminished after their elimination from the tournament, as striker Jaminton Campaz missed the return trip to Bogotá following security threats he received after missing a crucial opportunity against Switzerland in the Round of 16. The player and his family received threats, leading to security concerns and preventing him from traveling with the rest of the team. These events sparked widespread criticism and expressions of solidarity. This situation serves as a reminder of the incident involving Andrés Escobar's murder after his own goal in the 1994 World Cup, an event that cast a shadow of fear over the country.
