Canada Approves Wahi’s Travel For World Cup Clash Against
Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi has been cleared to travel to Canada for his country’s FIFA World Cup fixture against the Germany national football team, according to the Ivorian Football Federation.
Key Highlights:
- Elye Wahi has been cleared to enter Canada.
- He can now join Ivory Coast for the World Cup match against Germany.
- Earlier travel concerns have been resolved.
- Wahi is under investigation in France over betting allegations.
- He has not been charged and remains available for selection.
The federation confirmed that the 23-year-old forward has now received the necessary authorisations to enter Canada, allowing him to join his teammates for the upcoming match.
According to ESPN, the federation had initially indicated that Wahi would be unable to travel. However, it later issued a revised statement confirming that the travel issues had been resolved and that the player had been granted permission to enter the country.
Wahi’s participation had been uncertain amid an ongoing investigation in France into alleged betting-related offences linked to a Ligue 1 match during his time with OGC Nice.

The investigation centres on a yellow card the striker received during a goalless draw against FC Metz after betting regulators reportedly detected an unusual volume of wagers placed on him being booked in the match.
French authorities have questioned Wahi as part of the inquiry, but he has not been charged with any offence and continues to be available for selection by the Ivory Coast national team.
The latest development means Wahi is expected to feature for Ivory Coast as they continue their World Cup campaign, with the federation expressing satisfaction that the necessary travel clearance has been obtained.
