New day, new player without a visa: Wahi without a match against Germany

The Football Association of the Ivory Coast (FIF) stated they have not yet obtained administrative permission for Eli Wahi to enter Canada. The reason for the visa denial was not provided. Wahi is the second player from this year's World Cup to face visa issues, following Ghana's Thomas Partey, who faces allegations of sexual assault in England. Media reported that French police questioned Wahi, a member of Nice, over alleged match-fixing during a Ligue 1 game against Metz in May. The French league filed a complaint citing suspicious betting patterns around the red card Wahi received. Wahi was

"V tej fazi še nismo pridobili administrativnega dovoljenja za vstop Elyeja Wahija v Kanado," je v izjavi za javnost zapisala nogometna zveza Slonokoščene obale (Fif). Razloga za zavrnitev vizuma pa zveza ni podala. Wahi je drugi igralec na letošnjem svetovnem prvenstvu, ki so mu zavrnili vstop v Kanado. Podobno usodo je doživel tudi nogometaš Gane Thomas Partey , ki se v Angliji sooča z obtožbami posilstva.

Več medijev je v četrtek poročalo, da je Wahija, člana Nice, francoska policija zasliševala zaradi suma prirejanja rezultatov na tekmi francoskega prvenstva. Francoska nogometna liga je v sredo sporočila, da je vložila pritožbo zaradi dejstev, "ki kažejo na morebitno goljufijo". Govora je o povečanem številu stav na rumeni karton, ki ga je 23-letnik prejel proti Metzu sredi maja.

Wahi je marca dobil pravico nastopa za Slonokoščeno obalo. Na prvi tekmi proti Ekvadorju je začel v prvi enajsterici in igral 56 minut. Sloni bodo po obračunu z Nemčijo igrali še proti Curacau v zadnjem krogu skupinskega dela.
