Liberia has officially called off its upcoming soccer exhibition against Major League Soccer side Minnesota United. The decision follows the denial of United States entry visas for multiple members of the Liberian squad and their accompanying staff.
In a formal announcement shared via Facebook on Wednesday, the Liberian Ministry of Sports explained that the refusal of travel documents left them unable to assemble the full delegation required to honor the match contract. Minnesota United subsequently confirmed the cancellation of the July 26 fixture, citing external factors beyond their influence despite their desire to connect with the local Liberian population.
This event takes place amid a period of strict American visa regulations under the Trump administration, occurring shortly after a World Cup tournament where numerous fans were also refused entry to the country.
