Ghana files court appeal over Partey visa cancellation as hearing takes place

Even before the start of the 2026 World Cup, the Ghana national team found itself in a difficult situation after one of its key players had his visa to Canada revoked. In response, Ghana decided to challenge the decision in court and filed an appeal.

Details: According to MacJordan, a court hearing regarding Thomas Partey’s visa case has taken place. However, the proceedings do not confirm that the midfielder has been granted a Canadian visa.

Meanwhile, counsel representing the minister objected to the late submission of documents by Thomas Partey’s legal team, arguing that they should not be admitted into the court record because they were filed outside the required procedural deadlines.

Meanwhile, the officiating team for the Saudi Arabia–Uruguay match took to the pitch wearing pink kits. The design was chosen as a tribute to the host city of Miami, drawing inspiration from the area’s historic flamingo population, its iconic pink sunsets, and its famous pink Art Deco architecture.

Reminder: On the opening day of the 2026 World Cup group stage, Saudi Arabia faced Uruguay, and the match featured an unusual moment involving the Saudi Arabian flag.
