#Arsenal legend Ian Wright has condemned the banning a Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, who was set to become the first from his country to officiate at a World Cup and was selected as one of 52 referees for the tournament. However, after being denied entry to the United States, world governing body FIFA confirmed he will now be removed from its roster.

"World Cup of Chaos. Every few hours it's something or someone else. It's meant to be unifying. Whoever wins it will have to overcome a lot." wrote Ian Wright on his social media, along with a video he shared.

Do you think #FIFA will listen to the world's demands and stand up for the Somali referee, several players and people that are being mistreated by the US customs or is it too late?.
