Ivory Coast recalls player Elie Weah, who has moved to Canada
A new development in the case of Elie Wahi. The forward of the Ivory Coast national team, who was initially banned from entering Toronto, received electronic travel authorization at the last moment. The Nice striker managed to fly out with his teammates from Philadelphia and will be able to participate in Saturday’s match against Germany.
Earlier, the Ivorian Football Federation stated that they were unable to process the player’s documents. Visa issues were linked to a scandal involving suspicious bets. Recall that Wahi is suspected of deliberately receiving a yellow card in the French championship match between Nice and Metz. Nevertheless, the player received approval from the authorities on time and is ready to help the national team.
