Egypt's coach, Hossam Hassan, accused officials of bias after his team's dramatic 3-2 defeat to Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Despite leading 2-0, Argentina staged a late comeback through Enzo Fernández's stoppage-time winner.

Hassan claimed the match was influenced by pressure on the referee, suggesting Argentina benefited from favorable decisions due to Lionel Messi's presence.He criticized the officiating, VAR decisions, and match scheduling, arguing the outcome lacked fairness.

The coach also praised his players for Egypt's historic World Cup debut but vowed never to watch the tournament again if justice isn't served.Forward Mostafa Ziko echoed Hassan's frustration, blaming the referee for Egypt's loss.

The team's campaign included draws against Belgium and Iran, a win over New Zealand, and a penalty shootout victory against Australia before their exit against Argentina.
