Wahi denied Canadian visa for Ivory Coast World Cup clash with Germany
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.

Ghana asks Canada court to overturn Partey’s World Cup visa denial
TORONTO: Ghana on Tuesday asked a Canadian court to overturn Ottawa’s decision to ban footballer Thomas Partey, a day before the Ghanaian side’s World Cup opener in Toronto. Partey, a Villarreal midfielder, is facing seven charges of rape and one count of sexual assault in Britain relating to allegations by four different women between 2020 and 2022. He denies the allegations, but Canada last week refused to grant him a World Cup visa. Accra filed a request for an injunction in Canadian federal court early Tuesday, seeking to set aside Ottawa’s decision and potentially allow Partey to enter Canada and play against Panama on Wednesday. Canadian media said a judge received the request on Tuesday morning and was reviewing it. Ghana’s veteran coach Carlos Queiroz told reporters in Toronto that his side would be ready, regardless of the court’s decision. “It is not necessary to make comments. The story is open,” said Queiroz, a Portuguese national born in Mozambique. “My business is to play with the cards that I have in front of me.
