Boca Juniors defender Ayrton Costa has been granted a special United States visa after the footballer had previously rejected his application, the Argentine club announced on Friday. That means, Costa will be available at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 for Boca Juniors, hosted by the United States, starting on June 14.
Costa’s visa application was initially rejected by the U.S. immigration officials after the defender was subject to a criminal complaint, related to an aggravated robbery in 2018. But the footballed accepted probationary sentence in 2023 to avoid any trial.
“Ayrton Costa has been granted a 26-day special visa,” a Boca Juniors spokesperson told Reuters. Initially, the U.S. immigration officials had ruled out that Costa would not be allowed into the country as he is still serving his sentence.
