House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries asks U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to help ensure the mother of Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha can attend the team’s next FIFA World Cup match. Jeffries says he raised the issue with the State Department after Cape Verde played Spain to a 0-0 draw in Atlanta, with Vozinha contributing to the match. The reports note that Vozinha’s mother was not able to attend the goalkeeper’s World Cup debut because of visa problems. Jeffries repeatedly urges the State Department to take action to allow her to travel. In a later update, Jeffries says the mother has secured a visa and is expected to be reunited with her son in time for the next World Cup match. The outlets describe the matter as a consular/visa issue involving the U.S. government and a member of the goalkeeper’s family, with Jeffries acting as the intermediary between the family and the State Department.
