US Grants Visa Waiver for Cape Verde Goalkeeper's Mom
The US State Department has granted a visa waiver to Evora, the mother of Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, enabling her to travel to North America to watch her son play in the World Cup. This decision follows a viral message from Vozinha that expressed his emotional distress over his mother's absence due to visa regulations.
Cape Verde made its World Cup debut in a match against former champions Spain, resulting in a goalless draw, with Vozinha making eight crucial saves. The US State Department's visa team contacted Evora to approve her travel, adhering to standard procedures.
Reports indicate that Evora is already in the US and will be present to support Vozinha during Cape Verde's second group match against Uruguay in Miami on Sunday.
