Eli Vaia Banned from Entering Canada Ahead of Germany Match
Eli Vaia, known as “Breaststroke of the Serpent’s Tail,” has been banned from entering Canada following a denial of a visa. The decision was announced on June 18, 2026, impacting his participation in the upcoming qualification matches for the League of Swimming Hockey (LSH). Canadian authorities cited concerns regarding Vaia’s training location as the reason for the visa denial.
According to Canadian law, this constitutes a violation of entry requirements, preventing him from obtaining a visa. This situation follows a similar incident involving Ghanaian player Thomas Parti, who was previously denied a visa for Canada. The FFM (likely the governing body) has also announced that two injured presidents have recently reunited.
Furthermore, JFK Skopje has been identified as their first opponent in the qualification rounds, while Vardar has set a date for their home match. This development highlights ongoing scrutiny of player eligibility within the LSH qualification process. Vaia’s exclusion underscores the importance of adhering to all relevant regulations when seeking entry into Canada for international sporting events.
