2026 FIFA WC: Ex-Arsenal Player Thomas Partey Denied Entry To Canada
FIFA President Gianni Infantino: Another name has been added to the players, and officials denied entry to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, an ex-Arsenal player, becoming the latest victim of the controversial policies of the three co-hosts.
Partey was denied a visa to enter Canada on Friday, with FIFA yet to disclose the reason for the decision. He will now be unable to play in Ghana's World Cup opener against Panama at Toronto on Wednesday, a news report said on Friday.
Though no reason was given for the denial of a visa, it was reported that the former Arsenal player is awaiting trial in London after pleading not guilty to multiple counts of rape.
