The mother of Cape Verde national team goalkeeper Vozinha will be permitted to travel to the United States to support her son at the 2026 World Cup. Previously, she had been denied a visa. This decision follows intervention from U.S. Representative Hakeem Jeffries, who advocated on her behalf. Jeffries’ office confirmed the successful visa application, resolving a situation that drew public attention. The move allows Vozinha’s mother to witness her son compete on the international stage. This is seen as a positive development for the athlete and his family, facilitating personal support during a major sporting event. The US State Department has not released a statement regarding the case.
