Party can't enter Canada: Utterly unfair

Ghana and Panama will meet on the night between Wednesday and Thursday at 1:00 AM at BMO Stadium in Toronto.

The "Black Stars" will be weakened for that match. Namely, the Canadian authorities have not granted a visa to Thomas Partey. The reason lies in the fact that criminal proceedings are being conducted against the Villarreal footballer in the UK. Partey is accused of rape and sexual assault, which he completely denies and has previously pleaded not guilty.

Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement on this occasion, describing the decision as "excessive and extremely unfair."

However, the consistent Canadians have stated that the organization of the World Cup does not change their laws and that each person is assessed according to available data and applicable law.

FIFA distanced itself and clearly explained that it does not participate in the host countries' decisions about who will be granted a visa and who will not.

At least on paper, Parti will miss the easiest match. What is most important for coach Carlos Queiroz is that he will be available for the matches against England and Croatia, which are being played in the United States.
