Ivory Coast forward Elye Wahi has been denied a Canadian visa, preventing him from playing in an upcoming match against Germany. The 23-year-old was previously detained in France weeks before the World Cup due to an investigation into sports betting. Canadian authorities reportedly denied the visa due to ongoing concerns related to this investigation. Wahi started in Ivory Coast’s opening World Cup match against Ecuador. This visa denial adds further complications for the player, already facing scrutiny related to the betting probe. The situation casts a shadow over his participation in international competitions. No further details regarding the investigation have been released by Canadian officials.
