Thomas Partey, Ghana, Bryant University, FIFA
15 June 2026
Safeguarding questions have been raised after Thomas Partey joined a youth soccer community session at Ghana’s World Cup training base at Bryant University. Partey faces rape and sexual assault charges in the UK, denies all charges and has not been convicted.
The Athletic reported some camp staff nearby were unaware of Partey’s presence and legal situation, while Bryant said security measures were coordinated with FIFA and police. The issue adds another layer to Ghana’s decision to keep him in camp.
