Partey Blocked from World Cup by Visa

Ghana’s World Cup hopes hit a major snag as star midfielder Thomas Partey, facing unproven rape charges in Britain, was denied a visa to play in Canada’s opening match. Ghana’s government calls the move “high-handed” and “unfair,” arguing he hasn’t been convicted and should be allowed to compete. FIFA confirms he can’t enter Canada, but may play in U.S. games — leaving Ghana’s path uncertain if they advance. Canada says it applies rules consistently for safety, while the U.S. let him in, noting no conviction. Ghana is now scrambling for a reversal.
