Ivory Coast striker Elye Wahi, under investigation for alleged betting-related offences, has received authorisation to enter Canada for his nation’s World Cup match against Germany, the Ivorian football federation said Thursday.
The federation earlier said the 23-year-old Wahi was not going to be able to travel to Canada, but it issued a statement Thursday stating the necessary authorisations had now been obtained.
Wahi started in Monday’s 1-0 win over Ecuador in Philadelphia.
