Passport Mishap Washes Out Paraguay Player's Games

Paraguay international Andres Cubas faced an unexpected setback, missing recent matches after his passport was inadvertently destroyed. The incident occurred when the vital travel document was left in a pair of trousers that subsequently went through the washing machine.

This unusual mishap resulted in Cubas being unable to participate in Paraguay's fixtures, including games against the United States and Mexico. The player, who plays for Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada, was particularly distressed by the situation.

Although a new passport was obtained, the time lost meant Cubas could not complete the necessary visa arrangements to travel for the matches. The situation highlights a unique travel complication faced by athletes during international breaks.
