Egypt officially appeals to FIFA over referee decisions in its 2026 World Cup match against Argentina
The Egyptian Football Association has officially filed a complaint with FIFA following their match against Argentina in the 2026 World Cup. They are requesting an investigation into the refereeing crew led by French referee François Letexier, due to refereeing decisions that affected the outcome of the game, which ended with Argentina winning 3-2. The protest included the cancellation of an Egyptian goal and the refusal to award two penalty kicks. There has been widespread criticism of the refereeing decisions and the performance of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology, with calls for the referee and his team to be removed from the remaining matches of the tournament.
