News Summary:
On July 8, 2026, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) extended the contracts of national team head coach Hossam Hassan and team director Ibrahim Hassan, a decision announced by EFA President Hany Abo Rida following Egypt's successful World Cup campaign. This contract renewal came after the EFA, on May 21, named a 27-player provisional squad for the FIFA WC 2026 training camp in Turkey. Coach Hossam Hassan selected key players including Salah, Marmoush, Trezeguet, and Abdelmonem, notably excluding Mostafa Mohamed. Earlier, on April 26, the EFA officially released a statement addressing Mohamed Salah’s injury, sustained during Liverpool’s 3-1 Premier League victory against Crystal Palace, which raised concerns about his left leg. Previously, on March 8, the EFA announced its intention to bid for the 2032 or 2036 Africa Cup of Nations, a move contingent on state approval and aligning with the Confederation of African Football's (CAF) shift to a four-year hosting cycle beginning in 2028. Before that, on January 27, the EFA's Referees Committee, chaired by Oscar Ruiz, announced referee appointments for three matches in the second round of the 16th round of the First Division League "A" (Nile League).
