Mouth faces an unexpected setback related to Ayrton Costahis most recent reinforcement, since the defender does not have the necessary visa to enter USAcountry where the Club World Cup in June and has a legal problem that reaffirms the refusal to enter the North American state.
Furthermore, their legal situation further complicates obtaining this permit, since Costa has a “probation” in Justice that could influence the decision of the US immigration authorities.
The footballer, from Royal Antwerp from Belgium, has a judicial record that includes a “probation” for two cases: a robbery that occurred in 2018 and the arrest of his brother in 2023, accused of the femicide of his partner.
These legal situations generate uncertainty about whether Costa will be able to regularize his entry into the United States, an essential requirement for him to be part of the Boca squad in this important competition.
Costa’s case is reminiscent of what happened with Luciano Cabral, a player who also faced difficulties obtaining a US visa due to a murder conviction, which prevented him from participating in the 2024 Copa América.
However, Boca remains optimistic. The club is confident that they will be able to successfully manage the necessary authorization, allowing Costa to strengthen the team in the renewed FIFA Club World Cup.
Costa is scheduled to arrive in Argentina on Thursday to undergo a medical examination and sign his contract. As reported by the club, “if no problem arises, he will become a Boca player”, a key step to strengthen the team in its preparation for the 2025 commitments.
