- The African Youth Sports Academy in Seattle returned 20 complimentary World Cup round of 16 tickets to support barred referee Omar Artan.
- Artan was prevented from entering the U.S. despite holding a visa and was subsequently removed from the tournament by FIFA.
- The decision to return tickets was influenced by parents and coaches who empathized with the Somali community’s disappointment.
- The tickets were reassigned to the Somali Health Board, another local group promoting youth soccer.
We feel heartbroken, we feel betrayed.— Ali Abdulla, founder and executive director of the African Youth Sports Academy, told the Associated Press on Friday that parents felt heartbroken and betrayed, in connection with the ban on the Somali referee and the return of the tickets.
