Named by FIFA to officiate during the World Cup, the Somali referee 🇸🇴 Omar Artan was denied entry to U.S. territory
Due to his difficulties in obtaining a visa, he had benefited from the support of the Somali embassy in Nairobi, which notably enabled him to obtain a diplomatic passport
Insufficient for the American authorities, who immediately sent him back...
As a reminder, Artan officiated the return leg of last year's Champions League final between Pyramids FC and Mamelodi Sundowns while being elected best African referee for 2025 by the CAF
