Estados Unidos del criminal ultraderechista Donald Trump ha vetado la entrada a Omar Abdulkadir Artan, elegido mejor árbitro de África y que iba a pitar en el Mundial de fútbol.
🚨 CAF, WHERE IS YOUR VOICE?
Africa’s best referee — Omar Abdulkadir Artan, CAF Referee of the Year 2025 and the first Somali ever selected for the FIFA World Cup — was denied entry into the US despite a diplomatic passport and approved visa. Turned back at the airport like a criminal. No reason given.
This is a direct humiliation of African excellence on the global stage.
CAF — you crowned him the best on the continent. Now you stay silent while one of your own is disrespected by the host nation?
No strong statement. No demand for answers from FIFA or US authorities. No defense of African officials.
This is not leadership. This is complicity in the face of Western arrogance.
Africa’s talent deserves better than puppet organizations that bow when it matters most.
Stand up for Omar Artan. Stand up for African football. Or step aside for those who will.
Nommé par la FIFA pour officier durant la Coupe du Monde, l'arbitre somalien 🇸🇴 Omar Artan s'est vu refuser l'entrée sur le territoire américain
Vu ses difficultés pour obtenir un visa, il avait bénéficié du soutien de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi qui lui a notamment permis d'avoir un passeport diplomatique
Insuffisant pour les autorités américaines qui l'ont immédiatement renvoyé...
Pour rappel, Artan a dirigé la finale retour de Ligue des Champions de l'an dernier entre Pyramids FC et Mamelodi Sundowns tout en étant élu meilleur arbitre africain 2025 par la CAF
World Cup referee - Africa's best - is denied entry to United States and sent back after landing at Miami Airport, despite having a diplomatic passport https://t.co/2JPP5NpJpT
katar 22’den önce toni kroos falan çıkıp “kupanın burada ne işi var” falan demişti. iran ve ırak milli takımlarının, bugün de somalili hakemin yaşadıkları daha beter bir politik rezaletken konuşması gerekenler pek oralı değil.
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States.
He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival.
Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.
Isso aqui seria suficiente para cancelar a Copa e fazer tudo no Canadá e México. Se você voluntaria seu país para receber um evento mundial, o mínimo que você tem que fazer é garantir que os profissionais que vão atuar nesse evento possam entrar e se hospedar as melhores condições.
🚨💣 BREAKING ! Omar Abdulkadir Artan, meilleur arbitre CAF 2025, s'est vu REFUSER l'entrée sur le territoire américain. ❌🛂🇺🇸
IL N'OFFICIERA PAS DURANT CETTE COUPE DU MONDE : COMPLÈTEMENT DINGUE ! 😳🇸🇴
Véritable fierté de son pays, il était le premier arbitre Somalien à officier en Coupe du Monde : il devra donc rentrer chez lui.
