The African Youth Sports Academy in Seattle returned 20 free World Cup tickets after Somali referee Omar Artan was barred from officiating. The nonprofit said the decision left them feeling heartbroken and betrayed.

The tickets were part of a program distributing 400 free passes for the upcoming matches. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson and other local groups have expressed concern over the barring.

The reason for the referee's exclusion has not been reported. The vote asks whether the decision to bar referee Omar Artan was the right call.
