Ghana Can피 stage Vancouver hostage crisis over Canada visa decision

Thomas Partey faces a critical ruling that could impact Ghana’s first World Cup qualifier against Panama.

A Canadian court has denied an appeal brought by Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey after his entry was barred for the team’s match in Canada.

Following the denial, Partey’s legal team took to the Federal Court in Ottawa, but the appeal was unsuccessful on Tuesday.

The Black Stars will host Panama in Toronto’s Group L match on Wednesday.

Thoughtful updates indicate the decision underscores the complexities surrounding athlete travel amid international sports events.
