Breel Embolo, a key striker for the Swiss national football team, has received approval for his US visa, enabling him to travel for the FIFA World Cup commencing on June 12. The 29-year-old missed the team's initial departure to their training camp in San Diego due to delays caused by additional checks requested by US authorities. These checks included a review of documents related to a 2018 legal incident in Basel and a recent conviction for making threats that resulted in a suspended fine. The Swiss football federation confirmed that Embolo is expected to join his teammates in San Diego by Friday evening. His inclusion is anticipated to significantly bolster Switzerland's offensive capabilities as they prepare to face tough opponents in Group B, including Canada, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Qatar. The Swiss team is set to kick off their World Cup campaign against Qatar on June 13 in Santa Clara, California.
