Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.
Leí que Irán tendrá su sede en Mexico pero jugara en USA y que tendrá que llegar y salir de USA el mismo día del juego. Si es así es una vergüenza que la FIFA lo permita y que los demás participantes no defiendan por DEPORTIVIDAD a Iran. ES INACEPTABLE SI ESTO ES CIERTO
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Lionel Messi needs just ONE more World Cup assist to become the player with the MOST assists in World Cup history.
He is currently tied with Diego Maradona on 8 assists.
@DenisDukeUG Reason being... Ugandans are the true Pan Africans, we have over 10 Million refugees living freely in our country.
Kudos to HE Mzee Kaguta Yoweri.
Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
🔴 Énorme DINGUERIE encore des États-Unis...
L'arbitre somalien Omar Artan 🇸🇴 s'est vu refuser son entrée aux États-Unis, alors qu'il est sensé officier pendant la Coupe du Monde ! 🙄
Malgré l'aide appuyée de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi, qui lui a fourni un PASSEPORT DIPLOMATIQUE, M. Artan a dû faire demi tour à son arrivée aux USA.
On parle d'une personne qui a été élue MEILLEUR ARBITRE AFRICAIN EN 2025 ! 🤦♂️
