Gianni Infantino reacts to expulsion of referee Omar Artan: "We cannot control everything"

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to become the first Somali official at a World Cup, was turned away by US immigration upon arrival in the United States. FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated that "we cannot control everything" and urged everyone to "stay cool and relax," noting that the US administration justified the decision by alleged ties to terrorist organizations. The incident has sparked widespread reactions in African football, as Artan is regarded as one of the continent's top referees.
