Capdevila, a fullback on the Spanish team that won the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, had hoped to watch the final on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Now he writes on the X platform that he and his children have been denied entry permits, and he appeals for help in the post, where he has tagged Donald Trump.

"You don't understand how much I've been looking forward to being there and cheering for them together with my teammates from 2010," he writes in the post, which Aftonbladet first reported.
