FIFA has officially handed down significant disciplinary sanctions to Egypt’s head coach Hossam Hassan, team manager Ibrahim Hassan, and forward Mostafa Zico. The punishments stem from a series of controversial events and heated statements following the Pharaohs' dramatic exit from the 2026 World Cup at the hands of Argentina.
The Spanish football federation (RFEF) has confirmed it will escalate its legal battle to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) following a FIFA ruling. The governing body recently dismissed an appeal against sanctions imposed for Islamophobic chanting during an international friendly earlier this year.
