The mother of Cape Verde national team goalkeeper Fozinia refused to attend the World Cup matches due to the high costs of visa fees, despite the American authorities backing down from the requirement to pay a visa bond of up to $15,000 in order to travel. Although the U.S. State Department contacted her to facilitate her situation, the expenses prevented her from being able to watch her son in the stadium, which sparked widespread reactions. The player has expressed his hope that his mother will be present at future matches. This case highlights the financial difficulties and their impact on audience attendance from small countries in major tournaments.
