As the Tibetan National Football players prepare to take the field in the highly anticipated CONIFA Asia Cup, some players who hold the Identity Certificate (IC) have faced a temporary setback in obtaining an entry visa for Portugal.
The players will join the rest of the team later during their European football tour in France and Belgium.
In a show of unity and resilience, the player who was unable to travel with the team extended heartfelt good luck wishes to his teammates via a heartfelt video message.
