Europe backs World Cup ban CAF cheers Artan
Somali referee Omar Artan is preparing to officiate the UEFA Super Cup match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa in Salzburg, after being chosen to become the first Somali referee to oversee an Africa Champions League final. He also received the Best Referee Award in Africa in 2025 and participated in the 2026 World Cup. His appearance in the European Super Cup is an opportunity to learn from the level of European refereeing, especially after a difficult period he experienced when he was barred from entering the United States to participate in the last World Cup. He began his refereeing career following an injury in football, gaining support from both the African Confederation and FIFA. This achievement is a testament to his efforts in promoting the status of African referees on the global stage.
