Judge Artan Explains My US Detention
Somali referee Omar Artan announced that he underwent an 11-hour immigration interview and was prevented from entering the United States to attend the 2026 World Cup, despite holding the correct visa and documentation. He was also removed from the list of referees after being denied access to Miami International Airport. He explained that immigration authorities did not give a clear reason for this action, but noted that the country is on the travel ban list issued by the Trump administration. Artan stated that the decision cost him his dream of becoming the first Somali referee to officiate at the World Cup finals.
