Boca Juniors defender Ayrton Costa will be absent from the Club World Cup following the denial of his U.S. visa application. The Argentine football club announced the decision on Thursday, marking a potential challenge for their preparations in the tournament.
Ayrton Costa, a key player for Boca Juniors, was expected to play a crucial role in the team’s campaign. The visa denial has left the club without one of its defensive stalwarts, which could impact their strategy and performance in the tournament.
The timing of the visa denial raises questions about the administrative processes involved, particularly given the significance of the Club World Cup as a global competition. Boca Juniors, representing Argentina, will have to adjust their tactics and possibly rely on other defenders to fill the gap left by Costa’s absence.
