Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey was denied entry into Canada ahead of the 2026 World Cup, prompting the Ghana Football Association to challenge the decision in Canadian federal court. The appeal to overturn the visa denial was unsuccessful, leaving Partey unable to join his team for the tournament opener.

This situation has raised concerns about the transparency and fairness of the visa process affecting players during major international competitions. Fans and officials are debating whether the handling of Partey's case was appropriate given the stakes involved.

The vote asks whether the institutional response to Partey's visa denial was sufficiently transparent.
