Kuka Mboladinga

Kuka Mboladinga, affectionately known as Lumumba Vea, is a passionate supporter from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, recognized for his unique tribute to Patrice Lumumba, the country's first prime minister. He gained international fame during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he stood still in the stands, resembling a statue, while other fans celebrated around him. Unfortunately, Mboladinga's attempt to attend a crucial match between the DR Congo and Uzbekistan was thwarted when he was denied a visa to enter the United States, as reported by the French newspaper L'Équipe.
