White House cites reasons for banning Somali referee and Iranian officials
The United States refused to allow a Somali referee to enter and declined to issue visas for several administrative officials of the Iranian national team, for reasons they considered valid. Somali referee Omar Arten was excluded from the list of World Cup referees, while American visas prevented about 15 members of the Iranian team's administrative staff from entering. These measures are part of security procedures related to concerns about their backgrounds and the potential presence of individuals connected to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
