Egyptian Federation backs Hassan twins Zico despite FIFA sanctions
The Egyptian Football Association announced that it is reviewing disciplinary proceedings initiated by FIFA against the national team coach, Hossam Hassan, team manager Ibrahim, and striker Zico, following their comments after the Egypt-Argentina match in the 2026 World Cup. This comes after Hossam Hassan criticised FIFA harshly, accusing it of favoritism towards Argentina for marketing reasons, especially after Egypt's 3-2 loss despite leading 2-0. The association emphasized its respect for FIFA's regulations and its right to defend the interests of the national team and players. Hossam Hassan, who took over as coach in February 2024, led Egypt to its first World Cup victory in eight years, before being eliminated in the Round of 16 by Argentina.
