Ivory Coast’s Elye Wahi granted Canadian visa hours after denial
Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi has been granted authorization to enter Canada for the World Cup match against Germany, hours after the national federation said he could not travel due to visa issues. The reversal comes amid an ongoing French investigation into alleged match-fixing related to a yellow card Wahi received in a Ligue 1 game.
Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi has been granted authorization to enter Canada for the team's World Cup match against Germany on Saturday, the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) announced on Thursday. The decision came hours after the federation said Wahi would not be able to travel because he had not received the necessary visa.
"The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) reports that Elye Wahi’s administrative situation has evolved favorably. The necessary authorisations for his entry into Canadian territory have now been obtained," the federation said in a statement on its official X account, as reported by Al Jazeera.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
