Cleared to travel with squad
Wahi (not injury related) has received the necessary authorizations to enter Canadian territory and is now cleared to travel with the Ivory Coast delegation for Saturday's clash against Germany, the federation announced.
Analysis: Wahi had been forced to remain in the United States after the required administrative authorizations could not be obtained in time for the team's previous trip to Canada, making the resolution of the situation a significant relief for the Ivorian Football Federation and the squad. Wahi's availability for Saturday's fixture gives coach Emerse Fae an important attacking option as Ivory Coast look to respond following their opening group stage result.
Won't travel to Canada
Wahi (not injury related) will not travel with the Ivory Coast delegation to Canada after the necessary administrative authorizations for his entry into the country could not be obtained at this stage, with the federation confirming he will remain in the United States awaiting the team's return, the Ivorian Football Federation announced.
Analysis: Wahi's situation comes amid various reports published Wednesday concerning the player and illegal betting issues, though the federation clarified it has not been officially notified of any judicial or administrative proceedings against him. The FIF reaffirmed its full support and confidence in Wahi, stating he remains an important figure in the national team setup, and will continue monitoring the situation closely ahead of any further official updates.
