Former World Cup winner Joan Capdevila of Spain has asked United States President Donald Trump for help as he said he has been denied entry into the US for this year's final between his country and Argentina.
"I NEED HELP Donald Trump," Capdevila said in a post on X ahead of Sunday's World Cup decider in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
"They just told me that I can't travel to the final with my kids because my ESTA has been denied.
"Can anyone help me with this? You have no idea how excited I was to be there with all my 2010 teammates and this team to cheer them on.
"I can't believe they're not letting me into the USA ... and that I'll miss a moment like this with my kids who love soccer so much."
Capdevila also tagged the Spanish Ministry of Sport and, in a later post, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as he said: "If anyone knows how to fix this, I'll be grateful to you for life."
