Thomas Partey Denied Entry to Canada for World Cup
FIFA confirmed that Ghanaian footballer Thomas Partey will be unable to travel to Canada for the 2026 World Cup due to a visa application refusal by the Canadian government. This denial prevents Partey from joining the Black Stars at their base camp in Boston, USA, ahead of their first match against Panama on June 17.
FIFA clarified that they are not involved in the immigration process of host countries, stating that the ultimate decision regarding visa admissions rests with the respective governments. The statement was released on Friday, indicating that the circumstances surrounding Partey's visa refusal are not under FIFA's jurisdiction.
