Ivorian national team: Elye Wahi will not travel to Canada

The Ivorian Football Federation has issued an official statement to clarify the current situation of player Elye Wahi, who is in controversy over a betting-related issue. The Federation confirmed that it has not yet been informed of the existence of any legal or administrative procedures related to the player. “To date, we have not been officially informed of any action against Elye Wahi,” the statement read.

In this context, the Federation expressed its full support for the player and affirmed its confidence in his abilities, noting that Wahi is an important element in the Ivorian national team. However, immediate restrictions related to the team's logistical preparations were noted, as the player will not participate in the trip to Canada to practice national activities due to not obtaining the necessary administrative permits to enter the country.

Accordingly, Wahi will remain in the United States awaiting the team's return, and will not participate in the match against Germany. The Ivorian Federation also confirmed that it will follow the situation closely and promises to provide updates if any new developments emerge.
