Referee Omar Abdulkadir Blocked from US

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection refused entry to Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was scheduled to officiate a match at the 2026 World Cup, citing security concerns related to a security screening. Despite holding a multiple-entry visa valid for three months, he was denied entry into Miami. Artan, who was awarded the title of Best African Referee in 2025, was confirmed by FIFA not to be allowed to participate in the tournament. Somalia attempted to negotiate with the United States but was unsuccessful.
