Somali referee Omar Artan to officiate PSG vs Aston Villa UEFA Super Cup

Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the UEFA Super Cup between PSG and Aston Villa — the first time in history a non-European referee has been appointed to such a match. The decision is seen as UEFA's rebuke of FIFA, referencing a scandal from this year's World Cup in which another referee had his visa revoked and was sent back home after an 11-hour interrogation in the US.
