Egyptian team faces strict penalties over match incidents
FIFA, the International Football Federation, has decided to suspend Egypt's goalkeeping coach, Safwan El-Sagheer, for two matches and impose a fine exceeding $50,000. This action comes as a result of his ejection during the Egypt versus Argentina match in the 2026 World Cup. The penalty was issued following his strong protests against controversial refereeing decisions and his heated exchange with the French officiating crew, which led to tensions and an altercation with Argentine players after Egypt's 2-3 defeat. The punishment primarily addresses his conduct during the match, which was marked by protests and tension among the parties involved.
