The paroled player may be seen in the summer tournament.
Chilean the national team may see a player with a chilling past in the summer.
Born in Argentina Luciano Cabral has been selected for Chile’s camp group for next summer’s Copa América tournament.
In June 2018, Cabral was sentenced to nine and a half years for his connection to the murder on New Year’s Day 2017.
The murderer himself was Cabral’s father, who received a 16-year prison sentence for the case.
Cabral was already a promising soccer player as a junior, and he represented both Argentina and Chile in the youth national teams.
His grandfather is a native Chilean, which is why Cabral can represent the country.
Today The 29-year-old Cabral was paroled for good behavior in September 2022. Just a few months later, he signed with Chilean premier league club Coquimbo Unido.
The attacking midfielder has performed convincingly during the season and a half he has played. In April, he scored one of the most amazing goals of the whole season in the main league in Chile.
Now he has also been selected for the Chile A national team. It named a preliminary group of 55 players from which the final squad for the Copa América will be selected.
For Cabral, the problem is that the tournament is played in the United States. It is challenging to travel to the country if you are serving a prison sentence at the same time.
“It is challenging for him to get permission to travel to the United States when he has a ten-year sentence under him, which he has served for almost six years,” a Chilean soccer association assistant Alvaro Bellolio said For La Nacion.
“It is possible. But it’s a complicated process that requires higher-level authorities,” Bellolio continued.
South America The championship tournament Copa América is, after the Summer Olympics football tournament, the world’s oldest national football competition.
Traditionally, only South American national teams have played in it, but teams from other continental confederations have been invited to the tournament since the 1990s.
The summer tournament will exceptionally be played in the United States, and will also feature teams from Central and North America and the Caribbean islands.
