MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — The World Cup referee from Somalia who was denied entry to the United States after arriving in Miami and subsequently cut from the tournament by FIFA was set to make history for his country.
Omar Artan was going to be the first referee from Somalia to officiate at a World Cup after making FIFA’s final list for the tournament, which was announced two months ago. He is one of Africa’s top referees and was named the continent’s best male referee in 2025.

Meta: Will start moderating users who ignore sidebar
While this community is very low-traffic and I don't want to start blocking willy-nilly, I want to quote the sidebar:
World News for Canadians, with preference for articles that provide Canadian perspectives and sources.
This is https://lemmy/ dot ca /c/WorldNews. The intent was always that this would be about providing a Canadian perspective to the world's happenings. People who are primarily just crossposting sites that have no Canadian connection are invited to do so on other World News communities throughout the Lemmy fediverse. There are very many of them, but AFAIK this is the only "World News For Canadians" community.
