The mother of Cape Verde star goalkeeper Vozinha has been granted a visa to enter the United States in time for his next World Cup match, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.

After speaking with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and asking the State Department to do "everything in their power," Jeffries said fees were waived and travel is being arranged for her to attend her son's game against Uruguay on Sunday in Miami.

CACD is deeply saddened by the passing of José “Djosinha” Duarte, a true icon of Cape Verdean culture and a cherished figure in our community.
Djosinha’s extraordinary life spanned more than seven decades as a talented singer, accomplished soccer player, radio host, and cultural ambassador. Known as the “showman” of Cape Verdean music, he brought joy to audiences around the world and proudly represented Cape Verde through his art, voice, and passion.

Through his legendary radio program Camin pa Cabo Verde, as well as his performances in music and sports, Djosinha helped preserve and promote Cape Verdean culture for generations at home and in the diaspora.

CACD extends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who were touched by his life and legacy. May his music continue to inspire, and may he rest in eternal peace. 🕊️🙏🏽
