He dedicated his historic victory over Australia in the 2026 World Cup round of 32 to the Palestinians. After the match, he also raised the Palestinian flag in his hand. This time, ahead of the last 16 match against Argentina, Egyptian coach Hossam Hassan once again gave an emotional speech expressing solidarity with Palestine.
\nWhile talking about the match against Argentina yesterday, Monday (July 6), Hassan suddenly brought up the topic of Palestine. He spoke about the suffering of the Palestinians for more than four minutes. At the end of his speech, the journalists present applauded in support.
\nHassan said that if there is anyone in the world who has no feelings for the Palestinians, he is not human. It does not matter if he is an Arab, European or American. He said that even if an animal is tortured, there is protest all over the world. But the death of thousands of people has now become a normal occurrence.
\nThe Egypt coach also highlighted the humanitarian disaster in Gaza caused by the Israeli offensive. “I am a human being before I am an Arab. My message through football is the same – just as FIFA talks about mutual respect, people’s right to live should be respected.” Asked why he took the Palestinian flag after losing to Australia in the tie-breaker, he said, “It was a completely human reaction.” Egypt will take on reigning world champions Argentina on Tuesday (July 7) at 10pm Bangladesh time. A win would see the African nation reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time. However, Hassan said he is not afraid of his opponents. “We know we are going to play against the world champion and one of the greatest footballers in history, Lionel Messi. But we are not afraid of them.” He added, “Our dreams have no limits, our ambitions have no limits. We are not weak. We represent a civilisation that is more than 7,000 years old.” We will try to give our best for the people of Egypt, the Arab world, and Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
