A cop shoved a senior Egyptian soccer official in front of fans, including young children, during a scuffle at the national team’s hotel in Dallas.
The incident unfolded as crowds gathered at the team’s base to seek autographs and photos from the Egyptian squad, who are in Texas ahead of their last-32 World Cup clash with Australia. Fan footage shows former Egypt star Trezeguet signing a shirt and taking a selfie with a young fan when the team director and former defender, Ibrahim Hassan, walks over to join him.
Seconds later, a security officer marches toward Hassan and appears to shove him backward. Egypt players and staff immediately pile in, with the officer repeatedly shouting “BACK OFF!” The confrontation lasted around 30 seconds before several members of the Egyptian delegation were pulled away from the scene.
