The reason why Bolivia loses a player it was going to bring to the United States
In his team renewal process, the Brazilian coach received bad news: He will not be able to take one of the most promising figures in Bolivian football to the Copa América, winger Moisés Paniagua, who plays for Always Ready.
Paniagua was left out of the team for the continental tournament for an unusual reason, which the Bolivian Football Federation explained in a press release: The soccer player is only 16 years old and one of his parents is outside the country, so he lacked his permit and could not complete the process to obtain a US visa.
Bolivia will debut in the tournament on June 23 against the United States, in Arlington (Texas). Four days later they will face Uruguay in East Rutherford and will close the group stage on July 1, against Panama in Orlando.
