Ondua thanks fans for their support after UK entry denied

The Cameroonian midfielder of the Swiss club Servette Gael Ondua, who has Russian citizenship, in his Telegram channel appreciated the refusal of the British authorities to let him into the away match of the third round of the Champions League qualification against the Scottish Rangers.

The player thanked the fans for their support. “Of course, it is very sad that I could not help my team in an important away game in Glasgow, especially not on sporting principles. But with your support, I will definitely not lose heart, ”said Ondua.

On August 9, it became known about Ondua’s 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.
