British Columbia, Canada, is ready to welcome and celebrate the Somalian referee, Omar Artan, after being rejected from the United States.
"In British Columbia, (Artan) would be welcomed and celebrated for his accomplishment. We would be thrilled to have him refereeing games here.”

The man who claimed he was in Mogadishu 3 weeks ago is a complete liar spreading false propaganda. I seriously doubt he was ever there. His statements are riddled with misinformation and have no credibility whatsoever.
Today I graduated with a Master of Science in Global Studies from Lund University.
Years of hard work, perseverance, and learning have led to this moment.
Alhamdulillah. ❤️ #GraduationDay#LundUniversity
Important development for Somalia’s global connectivity. Through Turkish Akkon Lines, Mogadishu is being integrated into an extensive maritime trade network stretching across Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Gulf, India, and China. Via Türkiye’s logistics hub, Somali businesses will gain faster access to markets across multiple continents.
Shipping times on some routes are expected to be reduced by more than a month, lowering logistics costs and strengthening supply chains. In today’s economy, competitiveness depends not only on production but also on connectivity. This new link expands Somalia’s access to global markets and strengthens its position within international trade networks.
🚨 Somali referee Omar Artan, who was denied entry to the US to officiate at this summer's World Cup, has been confirmed by UEFA as the referee for the 2026 UEFA Super Cup between Aston Villa and PSG 🇸🇴
Can someone at @FIFAWorldCup help answer this question?
Is it really beyond the scope of the FIFA World Cup 2026 organizers to swap a referee originally assigned to officiate in Mexico or Canada with Omar Artan, allowing him to continue pursuing his dream of officiating at this World Cup?
This would give a deserving referee the opportunity to remain part of football's biggest stage.
The New Mogadishu International Airport, a multibillion dollar megaproject, will become one of Africa’s most beautiful aviation hubs, and is strategically located on the crossroads of three continents.

We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
A Muslim woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me this video claiming that her white neighbour attacked her home with a sledgehammer and threatened to kill her children.
When Muslims and ethnic minorities take the necessary measures to defend their homes and families, they will be the ones demonised by the political establishment and media elite.
