Somali Judge Abdulkadir Artan remarks after US entry denial
Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan revealed that he was barred from entering the United States, despite holding a diplomatic passport. This prevented him from participating in the management of the 2026 World Cup matches. He was scheduled to join the referee team for the tournament which begins today, but he was forced to return to Turkey after U.S. immigration authorities denied him entry, without providing clear reasons. Artan is considered one of the top African referees and was awarded the Best Referee in Africa accolade by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) the same year.
