Fifa have responded to criticism from the Egyptian FA, as well as members of the Egyptian team, over the refereeing decisions made during the last-16 clash with Argentina at the World Cup 2026 and decried that their officials are ‘not influenced by anyone’.
Egypt, who were leading 2-0 in the closing stages of the game, had a goal controversially ruled out and were angry over a perceived foul in the build-up to Enzo Fernandez’s winning strike.
