2026 World Cup: Ivorian Elye Wahi denied visa for Canada

For its second match of the 2026 World Cup, Ivory Coast faces Germany in Canada, but the Elephants will be without Elye Wahi, who failed to obtain the necessary administrative authorizations to enter Canada. Wahi is at the center of a fixed betting case in France, suspected of intentionally getting a yellow card during an OGC Nice match. He was questioned by French police before the World Cup. He will stay in the United States while his teammates play in Canada.
