Ivorian national team player Eli Wahi is facing widespread controversy after being accused of match-fixing, just less than two weeks before the start of the 2026 World Cup. An investigation is currently underway into an incident suspected to have occurred during the Nice versus Amiens match in the French league, linked to his deliberate receipt of a yellow card. Reports also indicated that he was detained weeks earlier after scoring two goals in a match against Saint-Étienne. Wahi is expected to continue representing his country in the World Cup, where they will face Germany in the group stage.
