BREAKING: Cote d’Ivoire striker Elye Wahi denied entry into Canada ahead of Germany fixture

Elye Wahi has reportedly been denied entry into Canada ahead of Germany’s World Cup clash against Côte d’Ivoire on Saturday.

The 23-year-old forward is currently under investigation in France over alleged spot-fixing offences linked to a Ligue 1 match involving OGC Nice and FC Metz in May.

Authorities are examining suspicious betting activity after Wahi received a yellow card during the fixture. However, the striker has not been charged with any offence, and investigations remain ongoing.
