One of Africa’s top referees, Artan was set to become the first Somali to officiate a World Cup match. But the Trump administration won’t give him a visa and its explanation sounds like no explanation at all.

I don’t remember any World Cup where shitty stuff like this happened, & I can remember every World Cup since 1978.
This referee is one of the best referees in the African Football Confederation (AFCON), & FIFA is standing there useless.
Award-winning referee Omar Artan was 'determined to be inadmissible due to vetting concerns' after arriving in Miami.
