Somali Referee Omar Artan Makes History
Somali referee Omar Artan made history as the first referee from outside Europe to officiate a UEFA Super Cup match, overseeing the game between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa in Salzburg. This achievement is a significant milestone in his career, especially after he was awarded the Best Referee in Africa for 2025. It also represents a major moral victory following his exclusion from participating in the 2026 World Cup due to travel restrictions on Somalia, a situation he expressed gratitude for, acknowledging the support he received.
