🚨 Omar Abdulkadir Artan traveled from Turkey with a clear mission: to referee at the World Cup. He never arrived.
U.S. immigration authorities denied him entry into the tournament’s host country. With no public explanation, no emergency solution, no turning back. Artan — considered one of the most important referees on the African continent and with FIFA credentials — had to take a flight back to Turkey while the World Cup continued without him. 😤
Most scandalous of all: neither FIFA nor the U.S. government has issued a single official statement about the case. A referee chosen for the most-watched event on the planet, left out because of a visa problem that no one wants to acknowledge. Who answers for this? 👇
