Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey is set to appear before a federal court in Canada on Tuesday morning in a case that could determine his availability for the Black Stars opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to information, the hearing is scheduled for 1:00 PM GMT and relates to Partey’s entry into Canada ahead of Ghana’s Group Stage clash against Panama.
The highly anticipated fixture is set to take place at 11:00 PM GMT on June 17, with Ghana hoping to begin their World Cup campaign on a positive note.
Documents shared online indicate that the matter is being heard before Canada’s Federal Court in a case involving Thomas Teye Partey and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
The hearing is reportedly expected to last approximately one hour and concerns an application for an injunction.
The outcome of the hearing could have significant implications for Ghana’s preparations, as Partey remains one of the team’s most experienced players and a key figure in midfield. Any delay regarding his travel status could affect the Black Stars plans ahead of their opening encounter.
