Ghana's Thomas Partey Denied Entry to Canada for World Cup
Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement expressing strong reservations regarding Canada's decision to deny Thomas Partey entry into the country. The denial is linked to charges of sexual assault against the former Arsenal midfielder, who is awaiting trial but has not been convicted.
As a result of this decision, Partey will not participate in Ghana's first group stage match against Panama on Thursday in Toronto during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Ghanaian government is actively pursuing diplomatic engagement with relevant Canadian authorities to address the situation concerning Partey's temporary residency application.
The statement underscores the perception of the decision as extremely unfair, particularly given Partey's status as a member of Ghana's senior national football team, the Black Stars.
