FIFA referees chief Pierluigi Collina has responded to the “unfounded allegations” made against World Cup match officials following Argentina’s controversial 3-2 victory over Egypt. Collina defended the integrity of the officials, including French referee Francois Letexier, who oversaw the match, and rejected claims of malpractice or external pressure to favor Argentina. Egypt coach Hossam Hassan had speculated that the officiating team might have been subjected to such pressure.
Collina emphasized that “unfounded allegations have no place in our sport” and that “nobody can question the integrity of the FIFA World Cup match officials,” warning that such claims could lead to threats against officials and their families. He also asserted that FIFA Refereeing cannot be influenced by anyone, including the FIFA President. Hassan had previously stated that his team suffered “injustice” and was “cheated unfairly,” suggesting FIFA aimed to keep the world champions in the tournament.

Egypt exited the FIFA World Cup after a controversial 3-2 loss to Argentina, leading to bitter complaints about unfair refereeing decisions.
Coach Hossam Hassan reportedly floated conspiracy theories following the match. Key incidents included a 62nd-minute goal by Mostafa Zico being disallowed after a VAR review for a foul on Lisandro Martinez, and a claim for a foul on Mohamed Salah in the dying minutes being waved away. The Egyptian Football Association has since filed an official complaint regarding the refereeing. Despite the contentious exit, Egypt achieved its best tournament performance.
