DR Congo Superfan Lumumba Vea to Miss Crucial Uzbekistan Clash After Reported US Visa Denial
DR Congo's famous superfan, Michel Kuka Mboladinga, popularly known as Lumumba Vea, is reportedly set to miss the Leopards' crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup clash against Uzbekistan after being denied a United States visa.
Lumumba Vea was present in Mexico to cheer on DR Congo during their previous match, but reports indicate he will not be able to travel to Atlanta for Saturday's decisive Group K encounter.
According to multiple reports, the visa issue means the iconic supporter will be absent from the stands as the Leopards battle Uzbekistan for a place in the Round of 32.
