Egypt accuses FIFA of “fixing” and alleges influential or unfair refereeing after its World Cup 2026 round-of-16 match against Argentina, which Egypt loses 3–2. Multiple outlets report that Egypt’s leadership and coaching staff express anger at the decisions made during the match and argue that officiating affected the outcome. According to reports, Egypt submits a complaint to FIFA regarding refereeing in the match and calls for action against officials. Egypt also links the alleged misconduct to the tournament’s broader direction, saying the competition appears geared toward Argentina and its path to later stages. The dispute is reported alongside the match’s immediate aftermath, including Egypt’s reaction and the subsequent draw or fixture implications: Argentina’s victory sets up a tie against Switzerland, heightening attention on the complaint. Coverage also includes reactions to Egypt’s response from officials and media commentary, with some reporting Egypt wants officials removed or investigated. FIFA has not been reported as accepting or rejecting the allegations in these accounts, but the complaint and claims of bias are presented as the central development.
