From U.S. visa rejection to U's grand finale EFA for Omar Artan

This decision comes as a surprise development, given that Artan had earlier been rejected for visas by the United States of America, an issue that had made headlines in international media.

However, UEFA has decided to trust him one of the most prestigious matches of the European season, confirming him as the chief judge of the Super Cup final.

U n EFA Super Cup collects each year the winners of Champions League and Europe League, and is considered one of the most important opening matches of the new European season.

Artan's appointment is seen as an important moment in his career, while the SPG match Aston Villa is expected to draw great attention to the international football scene. /Periscopi
