Omar Artan, named Africa's best male referee in 2025, said border officials repeatedly asked him about al-Shabab before sending him back to Istanbul despite having a valid visa. FIFA later removed him from the list of match officials.

For many, it felt less like a comeback and more like the rare joy of seeing the tables turned.
