Colombia's El Campín stadium to pilot facial recognition entry system

Independiente Santa Fe will test FacePass, a facial recognition entry system, for 1,000 adult subscribers in the Oriental stand during their September 22 match against Deportivo Cali at El Campín. The pilot marks a first for Colombian football, raising privacy and data-protection questions. Its success could set a precedent for broader stadium security and fan-management technology across the region.
