India, June 19 -- F rom a tearful post-match confession to becoming one of the breakout stars of the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha's fairytale run is about to get even more emotional. The 40-year-old shot to global fame after making seven crucial saves in Cape Verde's stunning 0-0 draw against favourites Spain in Atlanta (Georgia, USA) last week, earning him the Player of the Match award. But it was what happened after the final whistle that truly captured hearts. While his teammates celebrated, Vozinha was seen in tears. His mother, Ana Candida Evora, had been unable to travel to the United States because of visa-related hurdles, including a mandatory $15,000 bond required for Cape Verde citizens. "My mom, she didn't manage to be here because of the visa. because of the money we have to pay for the visa. We didn't manage on time. And I would like her to be here," he said after the match. The heartfelt admission, coupled with his heroics on the pitch, turned Vozinha into an overnight sensation. His Instagram following reportedly surged from fewer than 50,000 to 12.3 million within days. Now, reports suggest that senior US officials have stepped in to facilitate Evora's travel. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced on Wednesday that he had urged the State Department to ensure she could attend her son's next World Cup match. "No mother should miss the chance to see her child make history," Jeffries said in a statement. According to Jeffries, all associated fees have been waived and travel arrangements are being made, setting the stage for an emotional reunion between one of the tournament's unlikeliest heroes and the mother who inspired him.
