Miami – He was supposed to be the first referee from Somalia to referee games at a World Cup – but nothing will come of it: The USA has refused entry to Omar Artan from Somalia. The referee will not be able to work at the World Cup, the world association FIFA announced. The border agency CBP had decided that “a FIFA World Cup referee was ineligible to enter the country due to security clearance concerns and was denied entry,” it said in a statement.
