The Egyptian Football Federation sent a formal complaint to FIFA on July 8. The filing follows Argentina’s 2-1 quarter-final win over Egypt on July 7. The Egyptian FA says the referees made biased calls that affected the result. It demands a review of the officiating and sanctions for the officials involved.
Belgium’s federation also lodged a protest with FIFA. The protest concerns the allocation of a training pitch before a possible knockout match. Belgium claims the pitch assignment put the team at a drawback. Both federations are waiting for FIFA’s response.
