Why does FIFA allow this mess to happenhuh

What is their reason for the visa denial. Is FIFA not so big enough to guarantee all key participantshuh
FIFA's options are totally limited

No other North/Central American countries have the financial & economic clout to host a world cup...the entire Central America is in shambles, even Mexico is just being managed

The same thing will happen when they rotate it back to Africa next mundial, they're gonna have to work with whatever the North African Arabs offer them, because the entirety of sub-saharan Africa is a godawful mess financially, economically or even security-wise....abi why do you think CAF continues to kiss Morocco's @ss

.. FIFA says it has no power and jurisdiction over a country visa concerning players, coaches and other team staffs

I don't understand the idea of these nations applying to host the world cup an denying players and referees entry into their countries.

Civilized societies\countries don't fraternize with criminals, convicted or alleged. It is better you quickly clear your name through every legal means to stand any chance, that is why people try as much as possible to steer away from crime in societies where things work.
Una go just they talk like say na una too sabi law or get sense too much.. After all the false rape accusations you have seen with players, I won't take any of those accusers seriously. Besides no court has found him guilty so abeg shift with ur whack left wing mentality and fake morality for justice first until the facts have been established in court to determine whether he is guilty or nor

I wonder why anyone is surprised by this news.

Until he clears his name from the multiple charges against him by several women, he can expect to face many more such treatments.

On the one hand, I admire the fact that they take gender based violence seriously.
They won't be this strict if it was a white guy.

@ bolded, the guy has "allegations of rape" in the UK. He should be presumed innocent until proven guilty before dem begin crucify am. I pray he is innocent of all the charges levelled against him.

Is justice now guilty until proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty?
Make wokeness no kill u ooo
See your mouth like the dirty things we do in Africa.

What is intelligent in collecting visa fees, granting the visa making the person to buy ticket and then denying the person entry?

If you don't want somebody in your country, atleast have the testicular fortitude to chop the person visa fee and deny him the visa.

Your comments here are exactly what someone like Stephen in the Candie family plantation would say.
Tufiakwa!!!
That is exactly what this is, innocent until proven guilty unfortunately, and CAF/FIFA allows this mess to be perpetrated.

Oya make US invite am, just as Canada invited the ref US denied entry 😅
The US has already granted him a visa and he has passed through US Immigration as I understand. Has no problem with US laws which are slightly different.

The US requires a conviction apparently, Canada on the other hand just requires an official allegation, aka, a charge to deny at the discretion of border control.

Ah, you need to watch a bit of those Border Security: Canada series on Discovery. Any hint, any news of official indiscretion and you are turned back.

FIFA should have made it clear to teams what is possible and what isn't and except they can get the teams diplomatic passports I cannot see first world countries breaking their own laws simply because hey are hosting international events.

I mean these countries host a lot of events in the course of a typical year from concerts, exhibitions, sports events, high profile meetings. They break the law for one, they break the law for all and trust me lawyers are just waiting for such loopholes.

Partey is even lucky his case is already in the judicial pipeline, if not he may have been arrested as per international warrants issued for fugitives. These guys at the borders listen to news. Their Intel is top notch.

This is educative, but pls let me ask:

1. If Partey is now declared innocent by the court, what then happened? . Will they issue an apology or ask for the match to be replayed?
2. if one banny accused their president tomorrow, will he have to resign just because of the accusation which most often times are not true?
3. Since one president close to them is a documented convicted felon, will they also deny him entry? and that one is not even an accusation but already convicted.

Abi no be civilized society again where all are equal?

So if a girl wrongfully accused you,it is a thing of joy being punished for that? despite not found guilty yet.
