Football player Ondua with Russian citizenship refused to be allowed to play in Britain
The Cameroonian midfielder of the Swiss club Servette Gael Ondua, who has Russian citizenship, was refused to be allowed into the first match of the third round of the Champions League qualification against the Rangers. This was reported on the team’s website.
The reason was problems with obtaining a British visa. The Rangers said that the efforts made in cooperation with the Scottish Football Association were insufficient. The club expressed regret over the situation and offered support to the player and the team.
Ondua took part in the 2022 World Cup, where he entered the field in boots with the flags of Cameroon and Russia. For this, the footballer received criticism and threats. In response to them, the midfielder said that he had been performing in this shoe for many years and did not want to change the tradition at the World Cup.
Ondua has passports from Cameroon and Russia, as his father worked at the African country’s embassy. The football player played for the youth teams of the Moscow Lokomotiv and CSKA, as well as for the Makhachkala Anji.
