UEFA Recognizes Somali Referee Omar Artan
Somali referee Omar Abd al-Qader Artan will become the first non-European referee to officiate a UEFA Super Cup final, after being appointed for the match between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain in Salzburg. Despite being barred from entering the United States in June due to a travel ban list, he continues to shine in his field. Artan, 34 years old, is one of Africa’s top referees, having officiated the Africa Cup of Champions final and winning the Best Referee Award in Africa from the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This decision reaffirms the European Football Union’s recognition of his competence despite previous obstacles he faced.
