FIFA Continues Paying Referee Arten Despite 2026 Ban
Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan will receive his full reward for the 2026 World Cup, despite not participating due to being barred from entering the United States over suspected ties to terrorist organizations. Artan, who was ranked as Africa’s best referee in 2025, was set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the World Cup before American customs prevented him from entering. Nonetheless, he returned to his homeland, was warmly welcomed as a hero, and has been appointed to oversee a match in the upcoming European Super Cup.
