US Lawmaker Urges Secretary of State to Grant Visa for Cape Verde Goalkeeper's Mother

WASHINGTON D.C. The Minority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives has urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to grant a visa to the mother of Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha to watch the World Cup football tournament.

When Cape Verde stunned the strong team Spain by holding them to a goalless draw in their first World Cup match, goalkeeper Vozinha's mother Ana Candida Evora was unable to come to America to watch her son's historic match because she could not pay the expensive bail required for a visa.
