Arbitre somalien refoulé des USA : « La FIFA soutient le régime dictatorial de Trump », accuse Régis Testelin, chroniqueur de l’Equipe du Soir
Omar Artan, the best African referee, will likely not participate in the 2026 World Cup in North America. The Somali was "denied entry into the United States" last Saturday upon his arrival at Miami International Airport (Florida).
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) cited "issues related to his background check." Régis Testelin, a columnist for the French television program "L'Équipe du Soir," denounced the treatment of Omar Artan.
"Infantino is in Trump's pocket in this whole affair."
He also criticized FIFA's 'guilty silence'. In his view, the world football governing body clearly supports the Trump regime.
“Infantino absolutely does not support this referee, who is appointed by FIFA. He’s one of their own. The players, the accredited staff, the referees—they’re all part of FIFA’s population. Infantino says absolutely nothing to support this referee, so he’s in Trump’s pocket in this whole affair… Trump is a dictatorship, but FIFA supports Trump’s dictatorial regime,” Mr. Testelin charged.
He then criticized the choice of the USA as the host country for this World Cup. In his view, the organization of such an event cannot be entrusted to a country at war.
