Comunicado oficial con nuestras aclaraciones sobre el comunicado oficial de nuestros vecinos @realmadrid:
1. Se os cortó el vídeo del Papa donde decía que también era del Atleti.
2. Habréis confundido la educación con agradecimiento, pero para que no haya dudas: no os agradecemos nada.
3. Ni estudiamos ni valoramos ninguna oferta por Julián.
4. Cómo no nos vamos a llevar bien, si nos hacéis reír aún más que el @FCBarcelona_es.
In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.
Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".
Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.
Η αρχή έγινε με απορρίψεις αιτήσεων για βίζα σε φιλάθλους που είχαν προπληρώσει εισιτήρια & ξενοδοχεία, ακολούθησαν άκυρα σε δημοσιογράφους και μέλη αποστολών των ομάδων και τώρα έχουμε απαγόρευση εισόδου στις ΗΠΑ στον καλύτερο διαιτητή της Αφρικής που θα σφύριζε στο Μουντιάλ.

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
A Somali referee who is due to officiate at the World Cup has been denied entry to the U.S. after “vetting concerns” emerged upon his arrival in Florida over the weekend.
Omar Artan arrived at Miami International Airport on a flight from Istanbul on Saturday but was barred from entering the country following a “routine” inspection, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) confirmed in a statement to The Athletic.
Artan, the 2025 Confederation of African Football men’s referee of the year, is one of 52 referees handpicked by world governing body FIFA for the tournament.
