Ghana Seeks Court Intervention Over Thomas Partey's Canada Visa Rejection: Report
Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa: Ghana's government has challenged Canada's decision to deny midfielder Thomas Partey a visa, with a court hearing scheduled in Ottawa as the West African nation seeks to secure the player's participation in the FIFA World Cup.
Partey is set to miss Ghana's World Cup opener against Panama in Toronto on Thursday (IST) after Canadian authorities refused him entry because of ongoing criminal proceedings in the United Kingdom.
According to a report in the BBC, the hearing is due to take place at 6:30 PM (IST) in Ottawa. Ghana is seeking permission for the 33-year-old midfielder to enter Canada temporarily for the Group L fixture and has also asked the court to direct Canadian immigration authorities to allow him to submit a fresh visa application.
