The Ivory Coast national football team can breathe a sigh of relief with Elye Wahi's travel authorization for the match against Germany at the 2026 World Cup. The player had initially been denied access to Canadian territory due to a suspicious sports betting affair. But according to our colleagues at RMC Sport, the entry authorization on Canadian territory was validated by the Canadian authorities thanks to the document provided by the Marseille prosecutor's office. The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) officially announced the favorable development of the Elye Wahi case in a statement published on X. The Elephants will face Germany on Saturday in Toronto in Group E of the World Cup. Elye Wahi had been started against Ecuador and could start again on Saturday against Germany. Ivory Coast and Germany have 3 points at the top of the group before this match. The Ivorians won 1-0 against Ecuador while the Germans crushed Curaçao 7-1. The Ivory Coast national football team can therefore count on Elye Wahi for the match against Germany. The player is authorized to travel with the Elephants delegation to Canada and will normally continue his participation in the competition alongside his teammates. The FIF is pleased with this favorable outcome and thanks the various parties that contributed to the handling of this case. The match against Germany will be played on Saturday at 22 hours, French time. The supporters of the Elephants can therefore be optimistic about the rest of the competition. The Ivory Coast national football team has shown its potential against Ecuador and can do better against Germany. Will Elye Wahi be started for this match? Only the Elephants' coach can answer this question. But one thing is certain, the Ivory Coast national football team will be ready to face Germany on Saturday in Toronto. The team's preparation for the match is underway and the players are focused on the task at hand. The Ivory Coast national football team's fans can expect a tough match against Germany, but they can also expect their team to give it their all. The match against Germany will be a crucial one for the Ivory Coast national football team, and the players will need to be at their best if they want to win. The team's coach will have to make some tough decisions about the starting lineup, but he can count on Elye Wahi to make a difference on the pitch.
