Just when it seemed certain that he would miss Saturday’s World Cup 2026 clash against Germany, Elye Wahi has finally been cleared to join the Ivory Coast national team. The outcome comes as a surprise after several days of uncertainty surrounding his situation.
The OGC Nice striker had been unable to travel due to an investigation involving suspicions of match-fixing and betting irregularities. The Ivorian Football Federation had even announced that the necessary authorization for him to enter Canada had not been obtained.
Wahi Cleared to Join Ivory Coast
According to RMC, the situation was resolved in recent hours. Canadian authorities approved the player’s entry after receiving a document from the Marseille prosecutor’s office confirming that Elye Wahi has not been formally charged and is not currently the subject of any legal proceedings.
This is a huge relief for the Elephants, who will now be able to count on their striker for the showdown against Germany. It is also welcome news for Wahi himself, who has faced intense scrutiny and speculation since the case first emerged.
The latest development could even open the door for Wahi to start against Germany, providing a significant boost to Ivory Coast’s ambitions in the tournament.
