FIFA President Infantino continues to defend the scandals for which the United States is responsible ahead of the #2026WorldCup:
“What happened to referee Omar Artan is unfortunate. But again, we cannot control everything. Don't believe me if you don't want to, but we always try to find solutions. We are not the kings of the world.”

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the organization cannot dictate to the U.S. government who to allow into its country for the World Cup, saying that sometimes it is better to "chill and relax" over visa issues. spr.ly/6011B8NqT5

🇺🇸 Infantino Surrenders His Own FIFA World Cup to Trump's "Aggressive World"
Asked by the BBC if he had lost control, FIFA's president didn't deny it. He told the world to "chill" and "trust us," then admitted: "Sometimes we manage, other times not." Here's what he's managing:
🇮🇷 Iran: granted visas, forced to leave the U.S. immediately after their game
🇸🇴 Omar Artan, Africa's best referee: denied entry
🇺🇿 Uzbekistan: drug-sniffing dogs, metal detector checks, full body searches
🇸🇳 Senegal: pulled off the plane, treated as "criminals," degraded on the tarmac
🇮🇶 Talal Salah, Iraq team photographer: held 10 hours, then denied entry
🇮🇶 Ayman Hussein, Iraqi footballer: held and questioned 7 hours at O'Hare
He handed Trump a peace prize while Trump handcuffs his tournament. This isn't FIFA's World Cup anymore.

The decision to refuse a Somali World Cup referee entry to the U.S. is "insulting to the entire African continent", an ex-member of FIFA's racism task force tells @BarbaraGSerra.

Omar Artan was meant to be the first Somali referee to officiate at a World Cup.
But after landing Saturday in Miami, where the referees’ training base is, he was detained and questioned for 11 hours, he says, before being sent back home. nbcnews.com/sports/soccer/…

@goalsside No one is more official than the referee, and if a country refuses to allow a referee in, the World Cup should not be held in such a country. @FIFAWorldCup @FIFAcom

🚨🗣️| FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Omar Artan, a Somali referee who was due to officiate at the World Cup but has been denied entry to the United States:
“It’s unfortunate what happened to Omar. But again, we don't control everything. We try, we discuss, we see. Maybe it's good to just chill, relax.
“We try to solve everything. Sometimes screaming and shouting has the opposite effect. Don't believe me if you don't want but we always try to find solutions. We are not the kings of the world.”

BBC journalist to Infantino: “Are you embarrassed by what’s happening at this World Cup and have you lost control of the tournament?”
