Wahi Cleared to Enter Canada After World Cup Visa U-Turn

Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi, arrested in France over alleged spot-fixing tied to a May 17 yellow card, was initially denied entry to Canada for Ivory Coast’s World Cup match against Germany but was later granted a Temporary Resident Permit, enabling his arrival in Canada; Wahi had started Ivory Coast’s opener vs Ecuador, and the case is tied to ongoing investigations into betting irregularities around Ligue 1 fixtures, with Canada stressing that exceptional circumstances can allow entry while maintaining security; the visa reversal comes after similar entry issues for Ghana’s Thomas Partey.

Wahi Denied Canadian Entry as Ivory Coast Brace for Germany at World Cup

Ivory Coast forward Elye Wahi was denied entry to Canada for the World Cup group game against Germany amid reports he is involved in a Ligue 1 spot-fixing investigation; authorities said travel authorization could not be obtained, so he will stay in the United States as Ivory Coast’s squad travels to Canada and then Philadelphia for the next match. The case is tied to a Marseille probe into organised fraud and sports corruption, with the Ivory Coast federation saying it has not been officially notified of any judicial proceedings. The situation follows a recent visa-related denial affecting Ghana’s Thomas Partey.
