The world and European champion was not allowed to the USA for the finals of the 2026 World Cup

The national teams of Spain and Argentina will play in the finals of the 2026 World Cup in New York/New Jersey. Former Furia Roja defender, world and European champion Joan Capdevila wanted to attend this extremely important match for his national team with his children, but was refused a visa to the United States. After that, Capdevila publicly appealed to the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, using social media. "I have just been told that I cannot go to the final with my children because my ESTA application has been rejected. Can someone help me with this? You have no idea how happy I would be to be there with all my teammates from 2010 and the current squad to cheer them on. I can't believe that I won't be allowed to go to the USA... and that I will miss this moment with my kids who love soccer so much... If someone knows how to solve this problem, I will be extremely grateful," said the Spanish ex-footballer. The match between Spain and Argentina will take place on July 19, at 10:00 p.m.
