घाना ने कनाडा द्वारा पार्टे के विश्व कप वीजा को अस्वीकार किए जाने के खिलाफ अपील की है।

Ghana officials on Tuesday appealed Canada's decision to refuse midfielder Thomas Partey entry into the country for the team's first World Cup match while he awaits trial on rape charges.

A Canadian federal court heard the appeal Tuesday, just one day before Ghana faces Panama in Toronto.

Ghana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs had criticized the visa denial for Partey, who awaits trial in Britain, as a "high-handed and extremely unfair decision."

Partey faces allegations from several women dating to his time playing for English club Arsenal from 2020 to 2025.
