Canada denies Thomas Partey visa, Ghana appeals for World Cup opener
The Ghana Football Association lodged a legal challenge against Canada's refusal to grant a visa to midfielder Thomas Partey ahead of the team's first World Cup match. Partey is currently facing a rape trial, which has prevented him from travelling.
Ghana warned that his absence could weaken the squad in the group stage. The case has drawn attention from FIFA and international sports law experts.
