FIFA sanctions Egypt goalkeeper coach after 2026 World Cup
The International Football Federation (FIFA) has decided to suspend Safwan Al-Saghir, the Egypt national team goalkeeper coach, for two matches and fined him over $50,000, following his ejection during the Egypt-Argentina match in the 2026 World Cup. The punishment came after he expressed objections to the French referee team. He will miss the first two matches of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The goalkeeper coach stated that the red card was a result of an incident involving Argentine player Alexis Mac Allister, who threw water bottles towards Egypt's substitutes' bench, and that the referee did not see the incident clearly. He also discussed behind-the-scenes moments from matches that involved tense moments and successful penalty shootouts, sharing details about the human and professional aspects experienced during the tournament.
