Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey will be unable to participate in his national team’s upcoming World Cup qualifying match against Canada. Canadian authorities have denied Partey entry into the country, preventing him from joining the Ghanaian squad. FIFA has confirmed that Partey was not granted a visa for travel to Canada. The reason for the visa denial has not been officially disclosed, though reports suggest it relates to an alleged sexual assault investigation. This absence represents a significant setback for Ghana, as Partey is a key player for the national team. The match is a crucial early qualifier for the 2026 World Cup. Further details regarding Partey’s situation and potential legal proceedings remain unclear.
