Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was set to become the first Somali referee in FIFA World Cup history.
After arriving in the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he was reportedly denied entry by U.S. authorities despite holding a valid visa and was sent back before the tournament began.
A dream years in the making ended at the airport gate.
I’m so excited that Jordan will be playing Colombia soon!
I’ve been lucky to have many Colombian followers over the years, and I wanted to celebrate this special match with a drawing.
Jordan is a small country with a rich history, beautiful places like Petra and the Dead Sea, and wonderful people. If you don’t know much about Jordan, I invite you to discover it.
Good luck to both teams, and welcome to Jordan! ⚽š¤
Liverpool fans have spent the last few transfer windows surrounded by endless speculation about Mohamed Salah’s future. One day he is leaving Anfield, the next day he is staying, and then suddenly another report claims he could be on the move again.
This animated football cartoon takes a humorous look at that situation. The story begins with Salah appearing to say goodbye to Liverpool while the club’s famous Liver Bird mascot becomes emotional. Surprisingly, manager Arne Slot seems completely relaxed, which only makes the mascot even angrier.
After a dramatic reaction, everything changes when Salah suddenly returns carrying a bag labeled “BACK.” The unexpected twist pokes fun at how quickly football transfer stories can change and how fans often experience an emotional rollercoaster following every new rumour.
The cartoon is not meant to predict the future but to celebrate the fun and chaos of football news, social media speculation, and the never-ending discussions surrounding one of Liverpool’s greatest modern players.
Whether Salah stays or leaves, one thing is certain: Liverpool supporters will never stop talking about him.
Without dialogue and using only visual storytelling, the cartoon captures the unpredictable nature of football. Sometimes talent, ambition, and hard work are not enough. Timing can be everything.
Football fans love these ironic moments, and this cartoon celebrates one of the sport's most talked-about storylines in a lighthearted and humorous way.
Arsenal’s 2025/26 UEFA Champions League campaign ended in disappointment as Mikel Arteta’s side fell short in the final. Yet despite missing out on the trophy, the Gunners earned something that cannot be measured in silverware: respect.
In this animated cartoon, the Premier League is represented by its iconic lion mascot. The lion proudly celebrates Aston Villa’s Europa League triumph and Crystal Palace’s UEFA Conference League success, highlighting a remarkable season for English clubs in Europe.
As the celebration continues, Mikel Arteta arrives empty-handed. Having lost the biggest match of the season, he expects disappointment and criticism. Instead, the lion and the other European winners greet him with applause.
The message is simple: winning trophies matters, but reaching a Champions League final is still an achievement worthy of recognition.
Arsenal’s European journey showcased resilience, quality, and ambition. While the final result was painful for supporters, the club once again proved it belongs among Europe’s elite teams.
This short football animation offers a different perspective on defeat — one where effort, progress, and pride are celebrated alongside victory.
Under the leadership of Luis Enrique, PSG successfully defended their UEFA Champions League crown by defeating Arsenal in the final, becoming one of the few clubs in modern football to win back-to-back European titles.
The victory represents another major milestone in the club's history and further strengthens Luis Enrique's reputation as one of the most successful coaches of his generation.
In my latest animated football cartoon, I imagined the final as a FIFA / EA FC showdown between Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta. The two managers face each other in a virtual match before the real Champions League final begins. As the game unfolds, the events on the screen gradually mirror reality.
PSG's stars step up when it matters most. The goals, celebrations, and key moments recreate the excitement of the final while adding a humorous gaming twist. The cartoon concludes with Luis Enrique winning the FIFA match before lifting the real Champions League trophy, symbolizing PSG's second consecutive European triumph.
For Arsenal, it was another painful chapter in their search for a first Champions League title. Despite Arteta's impressive work and the club's progress in recent seasons, PSG once again proved why they are currently among the strongest teams in European football.
The success highlights the evolution of Paris Saint-Germain from a club often criticized for falling short in Europe into a team capable of building a lasting winning culture on the biggest stage.
This animated football cartoon celebrates the drama, emotion, and entertainment of the Champions League final through the lens of humor and animation, combining football, gaming culture, and storytelling in the style that football fans around the world have come to enjoy.
Watch the cartoon and let me know: where does this PSG team rank among the great Champions League winners?
When Spain announced its squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, football fans immediately noticed something unbelievable…
FC Barcelona players kept getting selected one after another, while Real Madrid ended up with ZERO players in the squad š
That idea inspired my latest football cartoon animation.
In the video, Barcelona stars arrive at Spain’s national team camp wearing their Barcelona shirts. As soon as they enter the building, they magically transform into Spain national team players šŖšø
Then Dean Huijsen arrives confidently wearing the Real Madrid badge…
But instead of entering, Luis de la Fuente activates an alarm and releases an angry Spanish bull to chase him away š
The cartoon is based on the viral reactions from football fans after Spain’s squad announcement and the huge presence of Barcelona players in the national team.
The animation features:
Lamine Yamal
Pedri
Gavi
Dean Huijsen
Luis de la Fuente

FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid rivalry
I wanted the video to feel simple, fast, and instantly understandable without dialogue — just visual football comedy inspired by one of the funniest football stories of the week.
After years of domination, trophies, tactical masterclasses, and endless suffering for rival fans… Pep Guardiola finally says goodbye to Manchester City.
This animated football cartoon imagines Guardiola’s emotional farewell at the Etihad Stadium. Surrounded by trophies and applauded by Manchester City stars, Pep waves goodbye while a statue is revealed in his honor. Everything feels emotional and respectful…
Until distant celebrations begin.
Suddenly, rival figures from across the Premier League are shown celebrating the news. Arteta, Bruno Fernandes, Declan Rice, and Virgil van Dijk react as if the nightmare is finally over. A banner in the background reads: “WE’RE FINALLY FREE.”
The video mixes comedy, football nostalgia, and cinematic storytelling to celebrate the end of one of the greatest eras in Premier League history.
Pep Guardiola transformed Manchester City into a football empire, winning multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups, and the UEFA Champions League while changing English football forever.
But this season also feels emotional for football fans because it may mark the end of Mohamed Salah’s legendary Liverpool journey as well.
While Guardiola leaves Manchester City after building a dynasty, Salah also leaves behind one of the greatest Premier League careers ever. His battles against Manchester City created some of the most iconic title races and moments in modern English football.
For many fans, this truly feels like the closing chapter of a legendary Premier League generation.
Cristiano Ronaldo has finally won the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr, and of course, the celebration had to be completely over the top š
To celebrate the moment, I created a funny football cartoon design called “Ronaldo’s Cosmic SIUU,” inspired by Ronaldo’s legendary SIUU celebration becoming so loud that it shakes not only Riyadh, but the entire universe.
The cartoon features an exaggerated version of Cristiano Ronaldo screaming “SIUUU” while holding the league trophy after finally lifting the Saudi League title with Al Nassr. The design mixes football humor, meme culture, and classic cartoon exaggeration in a simple visual made for social media, posters, and football t-shirts.
As always, I enjoy turning major football moments into funny animated ideas and cartoon illustrations that fans can instantly recognize and share.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi League victory was one of the biggest football stories of the season, and this cartoon was my fun way of celebrating it.
After years of pressure, memes, heartbreak, and “Trust the Process” jokes, Arsenal are finally Premier League champions once again.
The 2025–26 season became one of the club’s most memorable campaigns in decades, with Mikel Arteta leading Arsenal back to the top of English football after a 22-year wait for the title.
But while stars like Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Martin Ćdegaard, and William Saliba played huge roles throughout the season, football fans online noticed something else that became impossible to ignore:
Arsenal’s corners were terrifying.
Week after week, Arsenal kept scoring from set pieces and corner kicks, turning one of football’s most ordinary situations into a meme across social media. Fans joked that conceding a corner against Arsenal felt more dangerous than giving away a penalty.
That idea inspired this animated cartoon video.
The animation celebrates Arsenal’s title-winning season in a funny and exaggerated way:
Guardiola proudly watching his former student Arteta succeed
Wenger and Thierry Henry celebrating Arsenal’s return to glory
Gabriel trolling Haaland with “Stay Humble”
Arsenal players lifting the Premier League trophy
And finally… revealing the true “MVP” of the season: The corner kick itself.
The video mixes football culture, internet humor, cartoon chaos, and Premier League memes into a short animated celebration of Arsenal’s championship run.
For Arsenal fans, this season was about more than winning trophies. It was about finally proving that the project worked.
