UEFA questions FIFA over Somali referee Omar Artan
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) extended an invitation to Somali referee Omar Arten to participate in the annual elite seminar before the start of the Champions League and Europa League seasons. This move reflects UEFA's support for him following his exclusion from officiating at the 2026 World Cup due to the incident involving his expulsion by the United States. The seminar will be held in Geneva from August 31 to September 2, with the participation of 96 top-tier referees from Europe, aiming to standardize refereeing criteria before the season begins. Arten's presence also highlights the ongoing tension between UEFA and FIFA.
