US statement for supporter 'Lumumba' at RD Congo-Uzbekistan rejected

Michel Kuka Mboladena, who became known as one of the symbolic faces of the recent Africa Cup of Nations thanks to his silent tribute to Patrice Lumumba, will not be present at the important match between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uzbekistan. According to reports from L'Equipe, the supporter has been denied a visa to the United States, which prevents him from attending the match live. Mboladena's image became an icon during the tournament, especially through a particularly meaningful moment that quickly went viral on social media and television. His absence for this crucial match has led to disappointment among fans, who were hoping to see him back in the stands for this important match for his national team.
