Omar Abdulkadir Artan, the Somali referee who was unable to officiate at this year's World Cup due to not being allowed into the United States, has now been appointed for the UEFA Super Cup.

The match, where Paris Saint-Germain will take on Aston Villa, provides Artan with the opportunity to showcase his skills on the European stage. Artan was recently appointed by UEFA, allowing him to return to action.

Artan, who has been in the spotlight due to his absence from the World Cup, shared his expectations for the Super Cup and emphasized the importance of dreaming. He hopes this opportunity will provide him with a fresh chance.
