Egypt FA demands referees' exclusion from World Cup after loss to Argentina

The Egyptian FA has filed an official complaint to FIFA, seeking the exclusion of French referee Francois Letexier and his team from the World Cup. Egypt's controversial exit came after a 3-2 defeat to Argentina in the last 16, marked by a disallowed goal and questions over officiating decisions. Mostafa Ziko's goal was ruled out, and a perceived foul led to Argentina's winning goal in stoppage time. The EFA calls for an investigation into the refereeing errors and the failure to properly utilize VAR, citing discrimination against the Egyptian national team. The federation aims to preserve justice and the integrity of the competition. Argentina will now face Switzerland in the World Cup on Saturday.
