June 18 : Ivory Coast forward Elye Wahi will not travel to Canada for this weekend's World Cup clash with Germany because his authorisation to visit the country had not yet been obtained, the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) said on Thursday.
The second round of matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup gets underway on Thursday, which means there will be some teams looking to secure their spots in the next round, while others hope to salvage their survival. First, Czechia face South Africa, before Switzerland take on Bosnia-Herzegovina and Canada play Qatar. Rounding off the action is Mexico vs. South Korea.
ABIDJAN: Forward Elye Wahi will miss Ivory Coast’s second World Cup match against Germany after he was denied a visa to enter Canada, the Ivorian federation said on Thursday. “The administrative authorizations necessary for his entry into Canadian territory have not been obtained at this stage,” the Ivorian federation (FIF) said, adding that he would not be able to “travel with the delegation to Canada” for Saturday’s match in Toronto. The FIF gave no reason for his visa refusal. Wahi is the second World Cup player to be denied entry into Canada after Ghana’s Thomas Partey, who is facing rape charges in Britain. Several media reported on Thursday that Wahi had been questioned by French police over suspicions of spot-fixing in a Ligue 1 match while he was playing for Nice. The case revolves around a yellow card which Wahi picked up in a 0-0 draw with Metz in mid-May, after betting authorities had noticed an unusual volume of bets being placed on the 23-year-old being booked. The French football league (LFP) announced on Wednesday that it had lodged a complaint to police for “facts which could constitute sporting fraud and organized corruption.” Born in France, Wahi switched allegiances to the African nation in March and started in the Ivory Coast’s opening 1-0 Group E victory over Ecuador on Sunday. The Elephants final group stage match is against Curacao in the United States on June 25.
