Ivory Coast forward Elye Wahi has now received the necessary travel authorisation to enter Canada for this weekend's World Cup clash against Germany, the country's football federation confirmed on Thursday. This development comes hours after the federation had initially stated he would be unable to travel due to visa complications."The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) reports that Elye Wahi's administrative situation has evolved favorably. The necessary authorisations for his entry into Canadian territory have now been obtained," read a statement from the FIF's official X account. Canadian immigration officials have not yet responded to inquiries regarding the matter.The travel uncertainty for Wahi emerged amid an ongoing investigation into suspected sports corruption in France. The player has been linked to the probe, with French authorities reportedly detecting unusual betting patterns surrounding a yellow card he received during a Ligue 1 match last month while playing for Nice.Ivory Coast are due to face Julian Nagelsmann's Germany in Canada (Getty)Wahi, who was unavailable for immediate comment, has not been named as a suspect in the investigation. A spokesperson for the Marseille prosecutor's office informed Reuters that a 23-year-old Ligue 1 player was taken into custody on 29 May as part of an inquiry into alleged organised fraud, sports corruption, handling stolen goods, and money laundering.Despite the "difficult period”, the FIF has expressed its full confidence in Wahi. "To date, the FIF has not been officially notified of any legal or administrative proceedings concerning him," the federation stated."During this particularly difficult period, the FIF offers its full support to the player and reaffirms its confidence in him. Elye Wahi remains an important member of the Ivory Coast national team."Wahi, who previously represented France at Under-21 level, made his senior international debut for Ivory Coast in March. The team secured a 1-0 victory over Ecuador in their opening Group E match, with Wahi starting the match before being taken off in the second half, while Germany enter the fixture following a dominant 7-1 win against Curacao.A victory for Ivory Coast against Germany would seal their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup, but they are set to face an uphill task against Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany.
