🚨 FIFA statement on Thomas Partey left out of Canada.
“FIFA can confirm that player Thomas Partey will be unable to travel from Ghana's Team Base Camp in Boston, USA, to Canada for their first match against Panama on Wednesday, 17 June, as his visa application has been refused by the Canadian government.
"FIFA is not involved in the immigration processes of host countries, including the adjudication of visas. As with previous FIFA events, the host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and is admitted into the country."

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.
This was the security protocol the Uzbekistan national team went through upon their arrival at the stadium for their friendly against the Netherlands tonight…
Nommé par la FIFA pour officier durant la Coupe du Monde, l'arbitre somalien 🇸🇴 Omar Artan s'est vu refuser l'entrée sur le territoire américain
Vu ses difficultés pour obtenir un visa, il avait bénéficié du soutien de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi qui lui a notamment permis d'avoir un passeport diplomatique
Insuffisant pour les autorités américaines qui l'ont immédiatement renvoyé...
Pour rappel, Artan a dirigé la finale retour de Ligue des Champions de l'an dernier entre Pyramids FC et Mamelodi Sundowns tout en étant élu meilleur arbitre africain 2025 par la CAF
