The Egyptian national football team has reached the World Cup round of 16 after defeating Australia, a victory that was accompanied by political gestures from the coaching staff.

埃及國家足球隊在擊敗澳洲後，成功晉級世界盃 16 強，而教練組在獲勝之餘也做出了一些政治表態。

The match ended in a 1-1 draw at Dallas Stadium, but Egypt won 4-2 in a penalty shootout. This result marks Egypt's first-ever success in a World Cup knockout stage. After the game, head coach Hossam Hassan showed the Palestinian flag on the pitch and dedicated the win to the people of Egypt and Palestine. This action took place during the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the Health Ministry reports 73,066 deaths since October 2023.

比賽在達拉斯體育場以 1-1 平手結束，但埃及隊在點球大戰中以 4-2 獲勝。這個結果標誌著埃及隊首次在世界盃淘汰賽階段獲勝。賽後，總教練 Hossam Hassan 在球場上展示了巴勒斯坦國旗，並將勝利獻給埃及與巴勒斯坦人民。這一舉動是在加薩持續發生人道主義危機期間做出的，根據衛生部報告，自 2023 年 10 月起已有 73,066 人死亡。

Reactions to this gesture were mixed. Some observers, such as former Journalists’ Union head Yahia Qalash, described the act as a strong sign of solidarity. However, some fans claimed there was a double standard in security, asserting that Israeli flags were taken away while Palestinian flags were allowed. FIFA later clarified that flags from its 211 Member Associations, including Palestine, are permitted. This decision differs from previous rules, such as the ban on 'One Love' armbands in 2022.

對此舉的反應不一。一些觀察員，例如前記者協會主席 Yahia Qalash，將此行為描述為強而有力的團結信號。然而，一些球迷則指責保安方面有雙重標準，主張以色列國旗被沒收，而巴勒斯坦國旗卻被允許。FIFA 隨後澄清，包括巴勒斯坦在內的所有 211 個會員協會的國旗均獲允許。這項決定與之前的規則不同，例如 2022 年禁止佩戴「One Love」臂章。

Additionally, a separate incident occurred at the team hotel. A physical fight broke out between Dallas police officers and team officials, including Ibrahim Hassan and the player Trezeguet. The Dallas Police Department stated that the situation was resolved at the scene.

此外，在球隊酒店發生了另一起事件。達拉斯警察與包括 Ibrahim Hassan 及球員 Trezeguet 在內的球隊官員爆發了肢體衝突。達拉斯警察局表示，情況已在現場得到解決。

Egypt is now set to play against either Argentina or Cape Verde in the round of 16 in Atlanta.

埃及隊現在準備在亞特蘭大的 16 強戰對陣阿根廷或佛得角。
