Ghana Protests Canada's Decision to Deny Entry to Partey and Describes it as Unfair

The government of Ghana lodged an official protest with the Canadian authorities following their decision to deny a visa to Ghanaian national team player Thomas Partey, a decision that will prevent him from participating in his country's opening World Cup match against Panama in Toronto.

The protest came through an official statement from the West African country's government expressing "strong discontent" with the decision.

The Ghanaian Foreign Ministry asserted that Canada's decision is "unfair and excessive," considering that relying on legal cases that are still unresolved in British courts raises issues related to fairness and proportionality. The statement added that while Ghana respects the sovereignty of immigration laws in Canada, it finds the use of "unproven accusations" as a reason for the ban unacceptable.

This development comes as the player is already facing legal issues in the United Kingdom related to serious charges, which led the Canadian authorities to deny his visa application.
