 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry. Artan, who is set to become the first Somali referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup finals, was stopped at Miami International Airport and subsequently returned to Istanbul, where he had been residing. The reason for the denial was not immediately disclosed. However, Somalia is among the countries affected by a travel ban introduced by the administration of Donald Trump. Reacting to the development, Ciise Aden Abshir, a senior adviser to Somalia’s Ministry of Youth and Sports and a former national team captain, described Artan as one of Africa’s most respected referees. “Omar Artan is among Africa’s most respected referees and deserves the support of the entire football community,” Abshir told AFP on Monday.

 Wednesday season 2 hits 50 million views in first 5 days on Netflix 

“Wednesday” is off to a strong start in its sophomore season, with the debut of Season 2 attracting 50 million views in just five days on Netflix. The first four episodes, released on Wednesday, Aug. 6, reached this total by Sunday, Aug. 10, making it the second-highest single-week viewership for any English-language Netflix TV show, behind only Season 1 of “Wednesday.” The new season also set a record for being No. 1 in the most countries (91) during its first week.

Although Season 2’s initial numbers trail Season 1, direct comparisons are complicated. Season 1 was released in full, while Season 2 debuted only its first four episodes, and Netflix has updated how it measures viewership. When calculated by runtime, Season 2’s 201.6 million hours watched translates to 50 million views. The Jenna Ortega-led series remains Netflix’s most popular English-language show with 252.1 million views overall, and Season 2’s debut positions it to potentially enter the platform’s top 10. During the week of Aug. 4, Season 2 was the most-watched TV show, while Season 1 returned to the top 10 in second place with 8.6 million views. Other popular shows included “Untamed” with 7.2 million views and “Hunting Wives” at 4.7 million. On the film side, “My Oxford Year” led with 27.2 million views, followed by “KPop Demon Hunters” at 25.9 million and “Happy Gilmore 2” with 14.7 million.
