Visa Denied: Elye Wahi Misses Elephants Match

Ivorian striker Elye Wahi (OGC Nice) was denied a visa to enter Canada for Ivory Coast's 2026 World Cup match due to suspected match-fixing. The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) issued a statement saying it had not been notified of any proceedings and expressed support for the player. This case echoes that of Ghanaian Thomas Partey, who was also denied a Canadian visa last week.
