The world champion in the Spanish national team was denied entry to the United States

On July 17, the 2010 FIFA World Cup champion in the Spanish national team, Joan Capdevila, appealed to US President Donald Trump with a request to allow him to enter the country for the final match of the world Championship.

"I need help, Donald Trump! I have just been told that I cannot go to the finals with my children because my application in the electronic travel authorization system has been rejected. Can anyone help me with this?" wrote Kapdevila on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

The footballer stressed that he expected to support the current national team, along with his teammates from the 2010 national team. He also stated that he could not believe the ban on entry to the United States, which would cause him and his children to miss the decisive game of the tournament. According to him, the veterans of Spanish football planned to be present in the stands in full force.
