Boca player could play for Cape Verde at the World Cup | OneFootball

An unusual possibility has begun to circulate regarding a Boca Juniors footballer. It concerns Ayrton Costa, a defender for the club, who could represent the Cape Verde national team in the upcoming World Cup, which would be a historic event for the African country.

The information was provided by Javier Andrigo, president of the Mutual Aid Society of the Cape Verdean Union, in statements to the newspaper Olé. “Ayrton is the grandson of a Cape Verdean, so if he were to become a national and was called up, he could play in the World Cup. But be careful, if I’m not mistaken, he also has a Paraguayan relative, so the same could happen,” he explained.

Ayrton Costa could play for Cape Verde if he wanted to.

The expectation within the Cape Verdean community is significant at the prospect of having the Xeneize center-back on their team. Andrigo emphasized, “for us, it would be very important for a Boca player to represent the national team in the World Cup.” It is worth noting that Cape Verde recently qualified for their first World Cup, making any addition to the squad a highly significant event.

So far, neither the player nor his camp has made any public statements about this possibility. No steps have been taken, nor are there any signs that the footballer is considering this alternative. For now, it remains a latent option that, although not currently in the defender’s plans, could open an unexpected door in his international career.
