FC Groningen fan Kevin Delgado (34) from Delfzijl caught attention during the World Cup match between Spain and Cape Verde on Monday evening. He wore an FC Groningen shirt, which was a tribute to the Cape Verdean community in Delfzijl. Kevin is the nephew of Deroy and Laros Duarte, both active at the World Cup for Cape Verde. Laros previously played for FC Groningen, which strengthens the connection to the club. Kevin was in Atlanta to watch his cousins play, who managed a surprising 0-0 draw against Spain. Kevin describes the experience as 'magical' and is proud that he reached millions in his FC Groningen shirt. The shirt symbolizes not only his love for the club but also the history of Cape Verdeans in Delfzijl. He explains that many Cape Verdeans came to the Netherlands in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and the shirt is a tribute to their community. Kevin's cousins are thrilled with his action and the attention it has received. He hopes that his World Cup adventure will further put the Cape Verdean community on the map. Although he only planned for the group stage, he looks forward to his continued journey to the semi-finals.
