Algeria criticizes referee for Messi red card

The Algerian Football Federation has filed an official complaint with FIFA regarding what it described as "refereeing injustice" experienced by the national team in the match against Argentina at the 2026 World Cup. Lionel Messi made a strong tackle on Algerian defender Aïssa Mandi without receiving a red card, despite scoring a hat-trick in the game and tying the World Cup record with 16 goals. The Algerian federation confirmed that there are clear footage clips that required VAR intervention but no appropriate decision was made, expressing its dissatisfaction with the refereeing performance, which it considered to be unfair.
