Decision made on referees for Argentina – Egypt match

Jerome Brisard, the French VAR referee who was at the Argentina – Egypt match, will remain at the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. 

The chief referee of that match was another Frenchman, Francois Letexier. 

So far, the Egyptian Football Association's complaint to FIFA seeking the removal of these two referees from the World Cup tournament has not been successful. 

Meanwhile, six other referees who were in the VAR room in Dallas have been removed on Thursday. Among them was Swiss UEFA referee, Vidai Sanz. 

The Moroccan referee, Hamza Al-Fariq, Brazilian Rodolfo Tuski and Mexican Eric Miranda have also been removed from their positions. 

The list is completed by China's Fu Ming and Australia's Sean Evans, “Mundo Deportivo” reported on Thursday. 

Carlos del Cerro Grande from Madrid will continue in this role. 

Argentina defeated Egypt with a spectacular comeback, after trailing 2:0, and won 3:2. Argentina secured a place in the quarterfinals, where it will face Switzerland. 

There was a lot of criticism of the referees in the Argentina – Egypt match. Many were of the opinion that the referees favored Argentina.
