Thomas Partey will miss Ghana's opening match of the 2026 World Cup against Panama after being denied entry to Canada.
Ghana start their World Cup campaign Wednesday in Toronto, but Partey, 32, will not be present after the Canadian government denied his visa application.
Partey has been charged with seven counts of rape and one count of sexual assault by London's Metropolitan Police and is awaiting trial.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. It was confirmed last month that Partey's trial on rape charges, originally set for November at Southwark Crown Court, has been pushed back to start June 8, 2027.
A statement from FIFA -- first published by The Athletic -- read: "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.

Canada is not allowing a RAPIST to enter their country? How dare them!
Oh, and this: FREEPATHON ALERT! We now have less than 19 days left and approx $46k to bring in. Prayers up!
He’s Ghana haf Togo back, he’s Benin carcerated. Pretty Kenya know
AWWWWWWW..
WTF is he doing in Boston? Why’d we let him in? Sounds like Canada is doing what democrats do. You know the lawfare thing. We only do it if it’s Trump.
It is surprising considering that they allow all sorts of other Muslim rapist in to their country.
Maybe it is because he is a famous rapist or because he is a rich rapist. Maybe a rich/famous rapist.
You never know with Socialist what their motives are.
