Referee Letexier Faces Bans, Abuse and FIFA Complaint After Egypt-Argentina Row
Egypt have filed a complaint with FIFA against French referee François Letexier following his handling of their 3-2 World Cup defeat to Argentina, Tribuna reports.
Letexier faced fierce backlash after ruling out an Egypt goal, ignoring coach Hossam Hassan’s claims of racial abuse in the dugout and sending off a coaching staff member.
The criticism spilled beyond social media, with a California coffee shop reportedly “banning” the official, while Letexier was forced to set his Instagram profile to private amid a torrent of online abuse.
