00:00On to football. FIFA President Gianni Infantino has defended the organization's handling of visa issues, a day before the World
00:08Cup kicks off.
00:09He says FIFA was working to find solutions, but could not override government decisions on who is allowed to enter
00:16a country.
00:18Believe me when I tell you, or don't believe me if you don't want, but we try always to find
00:23solutions.
00:25Always.
00:27But then we need to respect that we are not the kings of the world who can rule over governments
00:35and police forces and I don't know what.
00:38We are a sports organization. We try to do our best with the means that we have.
00:44Infantino was responding to the case of Somali football referee Omar Abdukader Atan, who was denied entry into the U
00:52.S. over alleged security concerns.
00:54The issue has renewed scrutiny of U.S. immigration policies ahead of the tournament.
01:00Last year, Washington imposed a travel ban on citizens from 12 countries, including Somalia.
01:07Somalia's government said it had tried unsuccessfully to work with both U.S. authorities and FIFA to secure Atan's entry.
01:15It added that it was disappointed by the outcome.
