FIFA Orders Egypt to Remove AFCON Stars from World Cup Kit
FIFA has asked Egypt’s Football Association to revise its 2026 World Cup jersey. The change means removing the seven stars above the crest that mark Egypt’s AFCON titles. The kit will also feature adjusted name and number colors to meet FIFA’s visibility and uniformity rules. Under tournament regulations, stars on shirts are reserved for World Cup achievements rather than continental wins. Egypt remains the most successful nation in AFCON history with seven titles. With the jersey issue settled, the Pharaohs now focus on their Group G opener against Belgium, before matches with New Zealand and Iran.
