FIFA WC 2026: Egypt Files Complaint To FIFA, Demands Referees Be Kicked Out After Argentina Loss

By IANS News July 08, 2026 • 17:09 PM View: 332

The Egyptian Football Federation: The Egyptian Football Federation (EFF) has reportedly approached the governing body FIFA, lodging a formal protest against the decisions of referee Francois Letexier after their team suffered a dramatic 3-2 defeat against the defending champions Argentina in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Egypt appeared close to a historic upset after taking a 2-0 lead, but Argentina produced a late comeback, with Lionel Messi playing a decisive role by scoring one goal and setting up another before Enzo Fernandez completed the turnaround in stoppage time.
