Somalia's government has expressed strong disappointment and demanded explanations after its national, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, was denied entry into the United States, preventing him from officiating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Somalia's Ministry of Youth and Sports is engaging diplomatic channels with both U.S. authorities and FIFA to understand the reasons behind the decision. FIFA confirmed Artan's inability to participate, stating it respects host country immigration procedures and has been informed that the situation is unlikely to change.
