Video: she cried in his arms in front of millions of people..Fusinia hugs her mother after a harrowing journey

Cape Verde national team goalkeeper Fusenia experienced a heartbreaking moment when he met his mother, who was prevented from watching his legendary performance against Spain due to US visa issues, before authorities intervened to resolve the crisis and allow him to reach her.

French website RMC released touching footage of the 40-year-old goalkeeper walking into the stands to hug his mother before returning to the pitch in tears, in a scene that epitomized the human side of the 2026 World Cup.

Fuzinha became a global star overnight after his exceptional performance in the goalless draw with La Roja, where he produced extraordinary performances to save his country from certain defeat against one of the giants of world football, which saw him reach 14.9 million followers on Instagram, surpassing Germany star Manuel Neuer, who has just 14.

Despite this meteoric rise and massive public support, his mother’s absence from the stands continued to haunt him until the American administration intervened to resolve the administrative difficulties that prevented him from entering the US so that he could meet his son in Miami and give him the moral support he missed at the start of the tournament.

The Cape Verde goalkeeper is set to face Uruguay at midnight on Monday night and he has his mother’s support in his heart this time from the stands as he bids to repeat his championship and lead his country to another surprise on the world stage.
