@invertCucurella You cannot separate football from national security. Did Drogba know that?

🚨BREAKING: Didier Drogba says if the USA didn't want other Countries citizens in the US they shouldn't have bid for the Fifa world cup 2026 and says denial of Iran supporters and Somali referee Omar Artan is totally unacceptable, Football should be separated from politics "When a country bids to host the biggest football tournament on the planet, it knows exactly what comes with it. Players, referees, officials and supporters from every corner of the world are part of the package." "I look at the situation involving Somali referee Omar Artan and I feel disappointed for him. FIFA selected him because he earned that opportunity on merit, yet he was unable to participate after being denied entry." "Then you hear about Iran's football federation claiming that its supporter ticket allocation was withdrawn just days before the tournament. If true, that leaves ordinary fans paying the price for issues that have nothing to do with football." "The people suffering are not politicians. They're supporters who save money for years hoping to follow their national team at a World Cup." "Football has always been one of the few things capable of bringing different cultures together. The moment politics starts deciding who gets to be part of that experience, everyone loses." "I played in World Cups and international tournaments. The beauty of those events is seeing supporters from dozens of countries sharing the same streets, the same stadiums and the same passion." "No fan should be judged because of their nationality, and no referee should miss the biggest moment of his career because of political circumstances beyond his control." "FIFA, governments and football authorities need to find solutions because the headlines right now are about visas, travel restrictions and disputes instead of the football itself." "The World Cup should belong to the world. That's what makes it special. The game must always come first, and politics should never be allowed to overshadow football's greatest celebration."

استقبال شعبي كبير حظي به الحكم الصومالي الدولي عمر عبد القادر أرتان أثناء وصوله إلى مقديشو وذلك بعد منعه من دخول الولايات المتحدة، رغم اختياره من قِبل الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم (فيفا) للمشاركة في إدارة مباريات كأس العالم.

Well said Ian Wright.

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said Omar Abdulkadir Artan, the Somali referee who was denied entry to the United States ahead of the World Cup, would be welcome to officiate in Toronto. “Toronto believes in fairness, inclusion, and giving talent the opportunity to shine. He would be welcome to referee here in our city,” Chow said, adding that she plans to write to #FIFA to inform them of the city’s support.

@TheNewsAgents @josephmdurso Worst world cup ever

"The US is not welcoming the world," says @josephmdurso, ahead of the World Cup. He's not kidding – with threats of deportation facing fans, and unsold seats just days before the first whistle blows. Will the World Cup be an embarrassment for America? thenewsagents.co.uk/article/will-t…

@inpic0 Worst world cup ever

#لماذا تكره امريكا #الصومال حتى وصل بها الامر لمنع حكم مبارة كرة قدم صومالي من دخول أراضيها !!!!!

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Why isn’t Germany showing the same reaction it did in Qatar? 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan are being searched with dogs and shouted at, 🇸🇳 Senegal are being subjected to excessive searches as well, 🇸🇴 2025 African Referee of the Year has been denied entry. Where are you, Germany?🤔

@garyalsmith Worst world cup ever

🚨 EXCL: As referee Omar Artan lands in 🇸🇴 Mogadishu this morning, I spoke to FIFA officials about ✅️ Why he COULD NOT be taken to Canada or Mexico despite USA turning him away and ✅️ Pressure mounting on FIFA to give him $100,000 World Cup package refs are set to get.

Somali soccer referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was denied entry into the United States to officiate a World Cup match, arrived at Istanbul Airport late on Tuesday for his return flight to Mogadishu. tinyurl.com/4nu9pmxn

@TheTNHoller Worst world cup ever

We have no business hosting an event meant to celebrate what we all have in common with this racist president in charge. sports.yahoo.com/articles/somal…

The head of the US World Cup task force is asked why Omar Artan was denied entry. He says people communicating with bad actors planning harm against the US wont be admitted He's then asked, was Artan communicating with bad actors & who were they? He says he can't talk about it

@anadoluagency Disgraceful
