In the case of Omar Artan, primary responsibility lies with Gianni Infantino and FIFA.
One does not appoint an African referee for a world competition without first ensuring the conditions for his presence. FIFA cannot proclaim the universality of football while allowing one of its officials to be humiliated at the borders.
This affair goes beyond Omar Artan: it concerns the whole of Africa.
The African Union, its Commission President, CAF, and African referees must make their voice heard clearly.
World football cannot demand African excellence on the pitch while tolerating its humiliation at the stadium gates.
@curlyaram There is no such thing as "Somalian"; you wouldn’t call Danish "Denishian" or German "Germanan." The correct terminology is "Somali" as the singular and "Somalis" as the plural. Somalia is a country.
@dirtydeeds100@nikicaga To think or believe a leader of a terrorist group can have a well-known job is as dumb as if you fell asleep on a nuclear reactor, your brain had melted, and you are now nothing more than meat with eyes.
