 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.

Former WWE boss Vince McMahon will join pretrial program after reckless driving charge

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has been approved to enter a pretrial program to resolve a reckless driving charge from a crash in Connecticut this summer.

A state Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that McMahon can join the program if he makes a $1,000 charitable donation and drives only while properly licensed and insured. If he meets these conditions, the reckless driving charge and an additional charge for following too closely will be dismissed in one year.

The incident occurred on July 24 on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, where McMahon rear-ended a BMW, damaged a wooden guardrail, and caused debris to fly into the southbound lanes, striking another vehicle. His Bentley was destroyed, and two other cars were damaged. No one was injured, and the other drivers did not object to his entry into the program.

McMahon did not speak at the hearing. His attorney, Mark Sherman, said afterward, “Not every car accident is a crime. That’s what happened here, an accident.”

McMahon stepped down as WWE CEO in 2022 during an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He also resigned last year as executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, WWE’s parent company, following a sexual abuse lawsuit filed by a former WWE employee. McMahon has denied the claims, and the lawsuit remains pending.

McMahon purchased the World Wrestling Federation in 1982, building it into a global entertainment powerhouse. He ran the company alongside his wife, Linda, now the U.S. education secretary, and occasionally appeared at WWE events as himself.
