Ghana has formally protested to the Canadian government following the denial of a visa for midfielder Thomas Partey, a key player for the national team. The visa refusal prevents Partey from joining the squad for upcoming international matches, including potential World Cup qualifiers. Ghanaian officials have expressed disappointment with the decision and requested an immediate review. The protest, delivered through an official note, underscores the importance of Partey’s participation for the team’s prospects. No reason for the visa denial has been publicly disclosed by Canadian authorities. The situation raises concerns about potential diplomatic repercussions and the impact on Ghana’s World Cup preparations. The Ghanaian government is seeking swift action to resolve the issue and ensure Partey can travel.
