Kolina comments on refereeing decisions in the Egypt vs. Argentina match
The head of the FIFA referees committee stated that the decision to disallow Egypt's goal against Argentina in the 2026 World Cup was based on Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology. He added that the technology focused on the attacking phase, during which a foul was detected that led to the goal being canceled. He clarified that the foul was clear—when an Egyptian midfielder stepped on the Argentine defender's foot—and emphasized that VAR allows intervention when the referee does not see such incidents. He also underscored the independence of the officiating system and rejected accusations of interference in decisions. Overall, he expressed general satisfaction with the refereeing level in the tournament, despite some mistakes, and confirmed that claims of interference or threats threatening the integrity of the referees are unfounded.
