Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi was not cleared to travel to Toronto for a World Cup match against Germany because Canada entry authorisations could not be obtained, amid a widening probe into alleged match fixing and suspicious betting linked to a May Ligue 1 game; the federation says it has no official notification of any judicial or administrative proceedings and Wahi will stay with the squad in the United States as they prepare to return.

Partey blocked from Canada entry as Ghana start World Cup without him

Ghana will begin their World Cup campaign in Toronto without Thomas Partey after Canadian authorities refused his visa; FIFA confirmed he cannot travel with the squad for the opener against Panama. Partey faces seven counts of rape and one of sexual assault in the UK and has pleaded not guilty, with his trial potentially delayed to 2027. He remains eligible for Ghana’s remaining group games against England and Croatia. The rest of the team travelled to the U.S. training base ahead of the tournament. Immigration decisions are determined by host governments, not FIFA.

Supreme Court Rules Against Citizens Suing Over Foreign Spouses' Visa Denials

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that U.S. citizens cannot sue the government over the denial of visas for their foreign spouses, even if the denial lacks explanation. The court determined that the constitutional right to marry does not extend to a right for the spouse to live in the U.S. The decision reverses a previous ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which had allowed Sandra Munoz to challenge the State Department's denial of her El Salvadoran husband's visa.
