FIFA has lost its credibility

Completly absurd! FIFA need to step up

Aragsan :

FIFA has failed to protect players and teams facing poor treatment and discrimination. This should never be ignored football must be fair for everyone.” ⚽🌍

Me patiently waiting for 2030 world cup because yep am done with the chaos surrounding this world cup.

ajb.1234 :

I can’t believe I’m gonna have to wait another 4 years for the next World Cup, I’ve had enough of this one already.

Aden Gas :

Omar Artan is a young, talented, and highly respected Somali referee whose achievements have inspired many across Somalia and Africa. He was on the path to making history by officiating at the FIFA World Cup, a testament to his dedication, professionalism, and hard work. While the decision that prevented him from participating has been disappointing, I do not believe it diminishes his accomplishments in any way. Instead, this moment should be seen as another challenge in his career and a testament to his resilience. His journey remains an inspiration, and I am confident that greater opportunities lie ahead for him, Insha'Allah.

Keynan :

Worst WC already

How do we know he had a diplomatic passport? Plus we know nothing of his prior history let’s not make assumptions

Dani4eva :

He ain’t a diplomat

FIFA has zero say in US laws.
