Somali referee Omar Artan, who has been barred by the United States from officiating at the World Cup, is now scheduled to take charge of a high-profile UEFA match. The Independent reports that Artan has been selected for the UEFA Super Cup in August, described as a showpiece fixture. The reports say the appointment follows the earlier US decision that prevented him from working at the World Cup. The available coverage does not provide additional details about the reasons for the US ban, nor does it outline any appeal process or an alternative assignment in the World Cup. It also does not specify the host venue, the teams involved, or the exact officiating team composition beyond Artan’s selection as a referee for the Super Cup. Overall, the sources agree on two central points: Artan is a Somali official, he was barred by the United States from the World Cup, and he is subsequently chosen to referee the UEFA Super Cup. The reports frame the UEFA appointment as a continuation of his refereeing career on major international stages.
