Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan Faces Possible FIFA Sanction After Gesture Against Argentina
Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan could face disciplinary action from FIFA following his conduct during his side's 2026 FIFA World Cup clash against Argentina.
The incident occurred after Hassan was shown a yellow card by the referee. In response, the Egypt boss appeared to make a cross gesture on the touchline, an action that has reportedly attracted FIFA's attention.
According to reports, football's world governing body is expected to review the incident before deciding whether any disciplinary measures should be taken against the former Egypt international.
If found to have breached FIFA's code of conduct, Hassan could be handed a sanction, although no official decision has been announced at this stage.
