After being denied entry to U.S. for World Cup, Somali referee Omar Artan has been selected to work PSG-Aston Villa Super Cup final on Aug. 12.

Omar Artan, Somalia's top referee and Caf's 2025 referee of the year, was barred from entering the United States, losing his chance to officiate at the World Cup.

FIFA confirmed that Artan will not take part in the tournament, saying he will be unable to attend training or officiate at the World Cup after being denied entry.
