Arab countries criticize UEFA chief's comments
Thirteen Arab countries participating in the 2026 World Cup, including Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria, confirmed their rejection of statements made by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, in which he downplayed the importance of some matches in the tournament and described them as uninteresting. The federations clarified that every match holds value and significance for fans and players alike, viewing the participation of the teams as an achievement and a deserving accomplishment that reflects sacrifices and ambitions. They emphasized that football requires respect for all teams, especially those that qualified on merit. This response came as a reply to Ceferin’s remarks criticizing the increase in the number of teams to 48, considering it led to matches of no significance.
