FIFA awards Somali referee Artan full World Cup salary
FIFA has decided to pay the full salary of Somali referee Omar Abdulqadir Arteen for the World Cup, despite his being forbidden entry into the United States due to suspected ties with terrorist organizations. Arteen, who was awarded the title of Best African Referee in 2025, had intended to officiate matches in the tournament but was unable to participate following the entry ban. His country has warmly welcomed him back. Additionally, he has been appointed to officiate the European Super Cup match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa next August.
