Somali referee Omar Artan will become the first non-European official to referee the UEFA Super Cup (the annual match between the winners of Europe's two top club competitions) when PSG face Aston Villa on Wednesday. Artan's appearance marks a historic milestone for African officiating at the highest levels of European football. His selection comes after a high-profile setback earlier this year, when he was denied entry to the United States to officiate matches at the FIFA World Cup despite holding a valid visa.
