Keep your head up, Wata ❤️
🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
Not a single ball has been kicked yet, and this is already the picture of the 2026 World Cup:
• The Senegal and Uzbekistan delegations were reportedly subjected to invasive searches upon arrival.
• One of Africa’s top referees was reportedly sent back despite travelling on a diplomatic passport.
• Iraq’s team photographer was denied entry despite holding a valid visa.
• Around 90% of Moroccan supporters who had already purchased tickets reportedly had their visa applications rejected.
• Multiple members of Iran’s support staff were refused visas.
• Switzerland travelled without their star striker, Breel Embolo, after entry issues delayed his arrival. His visa was only granted following significant backlash.
• Iran’s team, despite playing all of its matches in the United States, has reportedly been required to base itself in Mexico and fly in and out for games.
What's the point of hosting a World Cup if so many of the people who make it a WORLD Cup are struggling to take part?
Bluetick people are promising gift for anyone who can guess the WC winner.
With the hope that engagement from the post generates enough revenue then they cut 5% and give back.
No job is easy actually 🤣
