FIFA grants Somali referee full World Cup pay
Somali referee Omar Abdulqadir Artan was fully paid his salary for the World Cup, despite being barred from entering the United States due to suspected links to terrorist organizations. He was set to become the first Somali referee to officiate matches in the global tournament, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection prevented him from attending, and FIFA confirmed that they would cover his wages. Additionally, he has been appointed to officiate the European Super Cup match between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa in August.
