Ghana star misses World Cup opener

Thomas Partey, a star of the Ghana national team, is barred from participating in the first two matches of the 2026 World Cup due to the Canadian government's refusal to grant him a visa, despite FIFA's confirmation that it is not responsible for the immigration procedures of the host countries. The 32-year-old Partey is also facing trial in Britain on charges of rape and sexual assault, but it is unclear if this is the reason for the visa denial. He is scheduled to appear in court next year and is later expected to be eligible to play in matches against England and Croatia in the United States.
