Do y’all think Nigeria could host a World Cup?

An important part of our preparations so far 👏

Thanks to Alex Scott, Ethan Nwaneri, Rio Ngumoha and Josh King who depart at the conclusion of our camp in Florida 🤝

Nice one from UEFA, but the damage has been done. The US and FIFA denied him a historic moment in his career. Sad.

BREAKING: UEFA have announced Somali referee Omar Artan will take charge of the 2026 Super Cup Final between Aston Villa and PSG in Salzburg.

[UEFA @UEFA]

🏆 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.

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Where is your voice now?

Gianni Infantino in 2017, talking about the bidding process for 2026 with particular reference to the travel bans the US had in place then:

“Teams who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup. That is obvious.

“We are now in the process of defining the bid requirements. In the world there are many countries who have bans, travel bans, visa requirements and so on and so forth. It’s obvious when it comes to FIFA competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup.

“The requirements will be clear. And then each country can make up their decision, whether they want to bid or not based on the requirements.”

[Dr. Luke in China @96Stats]

Russia 2018 gave fans a FAN ID that allowed visa-free entry. Qatar 2022 used Hayya as an entry permit. China, where I live, constantly framed as “closed”, now gives visa-free access to dozens of countries and even lets Americans transit for 10 days visa-free.

But the US? It still sells the world’s game, creates a “FIFA PASS” that only speeds up visa interviews but won’t let the BEST African referee (voted last year by FIFA) into the country. Even still says a valid visa does not guarantee entry.

Omar Artan would have been the first Somali official at a men’s World Cup..years of merit were erased by one opaque “vetting concern” at a Miami airport with no explanation at all.
