White House explains Somali referee ban

The White House has revealed that Somali referee Omar Artan, who was prevented from entering the United States before participating in the 2026 World Cup, was barred for reasons related to background checks and investigations. This move is part of U.S. efforts to prevent the entry of individuals considered malicious or linked to unreliable agendas. Although he holds a visa, the decision to deny him entry was made after security screening, which led to his exclusion from the list of referees announced by FIFA. No players or coaches were prevented from entering, but some administrative officials were refused entry on security grounds. The exact details of the decision remain unclear.
