🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Canada has offered support to Somali referee Omar Artan.
David Eby, the Premier of British Columbia, said Omar Artan would be welcome in the province. He believes Artan should be allowed to referee World Cup matches in Vancouver.
🚨 Somali referee Omar Artan has arrived back in Mogadishu.
Lots of people gathered to welcome him after the US denied him VISA to officiate at the World Cup.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.
