Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha will be joined by his family in Florida for the upcoming World Cup match against Uruguay on Sunday, June 21, 2026.
This follows a collaborative effort by United States officials to resolve his mother's visa issues.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper achieved widespread popularity after securing a scoreless draw against Spain on Monday, earning player of the match honors.
Initial visa complications prevented his mother, Ana Candida Evora, from entering the country for the opening game.
Intervention from the US State Department and various politicians facilitated her travel to Miami.
The player expressed the deep significance of having his family present during the tournament as the knockout bracket begins to take shape.
"For me this is very important," said Vozinha. "All my family support me in everything, and to have her here is something special.
"My father will be here, and my brother also.
I wish I could bring more members of my family here too: maybe my other brothers and sister and nephews.
Sometimes it's difficult, but I'm very happy for this."
