Two days before the 2026 World Cup’s June 11 opening, Ian Wright recorded a video for his two million Instagram followers. The former England and Arsenal striker had just read that Omar Artan, the Somali referee selected to officiate at the tournament, had been turned away at the U.S. border. “Every few hours it’s another story,” Wright said, “another story about fans denied, players denied, officials denied, journalists denied, now refs.” He called it a “World Cup of chaos” and asked whether this was how a host should behave for the biggest tournament in the world.
