Somalia reacts to World Cup ban
A media report states that Somali referee Omar Artan, who is participating in the management of the 2026 World Cup matches, was barred from entering the United States despite possessing a diplomatic passport. U.S. Immigration authorities did not permit his entry, depriving him of a historic opportunity to take part in the tournament, which will be held across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The Somali Ministry of Youth and Sports expressed its solidarity with him, confirming that diplomatic efforts have been unsuccessful in reversing the American decision.
