The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) has expressed its gratitude to supporters following Egypt&rsquo;s FIFA World Cup 2026 exit against Argentina, while raising concerns over refereeing decisions during the match.
In a statement shared on its official account, the federation thanked Egyptian fans at home and abroad for their support throughout the tournament, saying the national team had represented the country with &ldquo;honour, determination and courage&rdquo;.
The EFA also criticised the officiating during the defeat to Argentina, claiming that several refereeing decisions and the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system had raised concerns over the consistency and fairness of decisions made during the match.
The federation said football analysts and experts had also highlighted controversial incidents, adding that matches at the World Cup require the highest standards of transparency and officiating.
