U.S. denies entry to Somali World Cup referee due to "security threat"

Moderate: Centrist outlets emphasize the irony and hospitality failures of a World Cup host denying entry to an official; they highlight discrepancies between the US government's security claims and FIFA's statements, and focus on Artan's respected status alongside his triumphant homecoming.

Conservative: Conservative-leaning outlets report the US national security threat classification more directly, while also criticizing the broader World Cup organizational and governance problems; they emphasize Artan's status as Africa's top referee to underscore the incident's gravity.
