@consoleghana He is just there to play football, they can make exceptions for him like how US denied Iran visa but will still allow them to play there and return.
Government of Ghana’s strong reservations and high stakes diplomatic interventions following the Canadian Visa Refusal of Thomas Teye Partey of the Black Stars FIFA World Cup team.
@plasandrunt@Adesurplux20@Lea_EFC Now ask yourself why he was cleared? Was it not these same allegations? Should Partey not be cleared first before he is treated like a criminal?
This doesn’t make sense. How do you host a World Cup and deny a player visa based on allegations. What if after his court hearing in 2027 he is declared innocent, will you organise another tournament for him?
🚨 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."
@Brands_vant@FabrizioRomano I disagree. So imagine he is kept under house arrest till the court ruling and he’s found innocent, will he be compensated for all the denied opportunities?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all up for him being charged if he’s found guilty but until then he is a free man
@Brands_vant@FabrizioRomano How smart of you to put ‘potential’ when you know the word ‘false accusation’ also exist. Have we not seen such stories before? Neymar, Mendy, Greenwood you name it..
