Summary
Pato Perrotta, 26, and Beni Marmol, 20, were arrested Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium after authorities said they used invalid credentials to get into the Colombia-Portugal World Cup match.
Miami-Dade deputies said the pair passed three security checkpoints; Perrotta allegedly presented credentials from a previous event, while Marmol said he was an influencer trying to stream the game.
Both were charged with felony interference with a sports or entertainment event, an offense carrying up to 5 years in prison, and were held on $2,500 bond.
A fellow streamer said bail had been paid and the two should be released soon, but they are expected to remain in the U.S. while the case is resolved and stay away from World Cup stadiums.
The case lands during FIFA World Cup 2026 festivities in the U.S., where fan content has otherwise highlighted positive scenes of foreign visitors embracing American cities and culture.
