CANADA, shame on you all ‼️‼️
(2017–2019): A woman (Laquana Morris, aka Layla Lace accused Drake of raping her and impregnating her during a consensual sexual encounter in a Manchester hotel in February 2017. Manchester police investigated and cleared him of any criminal wrongdoing. Drake denied the allegations
When this happened and investigation were ongoing,did Canada deny Drake from entering the country or detain him ???
Why are they doing this to Partey?
The @TheAthleticFC is behind this unfair treatment towards Partey.
🚨🎙️Didier Drogba: "African Teams Cannot Keep Paying The Price"
With what I'm hearing, I don't think this is heading in the right direction.
First, Ghana could be without Thomas Partey for an important match because of issues unrelated to the competition. That's a huge setback, not just for the team but for the entire country.
Now we're hearing reports of Senegalese fans facing visa difficulties. How is that fair? Imagine playing one of the biggest matches of your life without the support of your fans in the stadium.
Football is about competition, atmosphere and national pride. Supporters are part of that experience.
I think something has to be done and adjusted immediately because, from where I'm standing, it feels like African teams and African supporters are the ones being affected the most.
🚨 BREAKING: Jamie Carragher blasts FIFA and Canada over Thomas Partey visa controversy
"This is an absolute disgrace from a tournament planning point of view. You spend years building towards a World Cup, qualifying, preparing squads, getting everything right — and then something like this happens days before kickoff. It’s just not acceptable at this level of football."
"If Thomas Partey is part of Ghana’s plans and has been cleared to be in the squad, then how does it get to a point where a visa issue knocks him out of the opening game against Panama? That’s not football, that’s administration failure."
"I don’t care who is responsible — FIFA, Canada, immigration — someone has to take accountability. You cannot tell fans to invest emotionally in a tournament and then allow situations where key players are missing because paperwork wasn’t sorted in time."
"At the very least, these issues should be resolved weeks before the first match. It’s unfair on the player, it’s unfair on Ghana, and it damages the integrity of the competition. This is exactly the kind of chaos that should never happen at a World Cup."
FIFA have confirmed that Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey will be unable to play in Ghana's opening game against Panama in Toronto next Wednesday because the Canadian government have decided not to issue him with a visa.
