Egyptian Union follows FIFA disciplinary actions
The Egyptian Football Club, Al Ittihad, has circulated disciplinary procedures initiated by the International Football Federation (FIFA) against Hossam Hassan, the head coach of the national team, and team director Ibrahim Hassan, as well as player Mustafa Zico, following their comments after the Egypt-Argentina match in the 2026 World Cup. The coach, along with members of the technical staff and the player, issued strong criticisms of the refereeing decisions, stating that the match was unjust, and suggesting that there were marketing considerations that may have influenced the outcome—particularly with regard to Argentina's star Lionel Messi remaining in the tournament. FIFA's procedures have intensified the controversy surrounding the fairness of refereeing and the organization of the tournament, amid the accusations made. Meanwhile, the Egyptian Football Federation reiterated its respect for the regulations and the rights of the national team, emphasizing its support for the coaches and players in defending their interests. The Egyptian team was eliminated from the tournament after losing 3-2 to Argentina, marking a historic achievement by reaching the round of 16 for the first time. This occurred amidst a wave of criticism directed at officiating as the remaining matches of the tournament continue.
