Boca Juniors player denied visa, misses out on Club World Cup ❌ | OneFootball

Boca Juniors' defender Ayrton Costa will not be able to participate in the Club World Cup as his entry visa to the United States has been denied.

The news was confirmed by the Argentine press on Thursday (12).

According to TyC, the player is on pending probation due to a criminal process involving a robbery attempt in 2018.

The United States believes that the process is still ongoing and therefore did not allow his entry into the country.

Costa made a final attempt to obtain the visa at the embassy on Thursday, but again his request was denied.

According to TyC, Boca even asked for Fifa's intervention in the case.

The Argentine club released a list of players registered for the World Cup last Sunday (8), including Costa's name.

The Boca Juniors delegation is already in the United States for the tournament.

The team is in Group C, which also includes Bayern Munich, Auckland City, and Benfica.
