Boca Juniors defender Ayrton Costa has been denied a visa to travel to the United States. Meaning former Manchester United midfielder Marcos Rojo will be the main man at the 2025 FIFA World Cup.
Marca reports that Boca’s coordinators tried to submit documents for Costa’s visa twice. But were rejected on both occasions. The club did not initially give a reason. สมัคร UFABET
But the media dug up that the 25-year-old footballer was arrested for theft in 2018. But was sentenced to 5 years of probation in exchange for not serving time in prison.
The incident involved a group of more than one person breaking into a residential area to steal things. And the criminal record has not yet been expunged from the criminal record and has affected the application for a US visa.
In addition to the theft case, Ayrton was also implicated in a domestic violence case. That led to the murder of his brother, but the Boca player was not prosecuted.
It would be Costa’s second miss of the Club World Cup, following his suspension in 2023 as an Independiente player.
That has prompted head coach Miguel Angel Russo to push 35- year- old Marcos Rojo into the starting line. Up for the tournament in the United States against Group C opponents Bayern Munich , Benfica and Auckland City .
