@nell15201: VIDEO | Infantino tells reporters to ‘chill and relax’ as World Cup controversies mount FIFA president Gianni Infantino brushed aside concerns over soaring ticket prices, visa denials, Iran’s participation, and other issues surrounding the tournament, urging reporters to “chill and relax” during a tense pre-World Cup press conference. Among the controversies is the case of Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, the first Somali ever selected to officiate at a FIFA World Cup, who was denied entry to the US and deported from Miami despite holding a valid visa. US authorities cited unspecified vetting and security concerns, a decision that has drawn criticism in Somalia and abroad.
