Five days after failure to pay their fine, Egypt may be on their way out of the 2026 World Cup qualifying series, with a possible ban.
This was revealed via Blick, a publication in Switzerland, the home base of FIFA on Tuesday.
The northern Africa nation are group A leaders in the World Cup qualifying campaign.
Egypt currently lead Group A of the CAF qualifiers after amassing 10 points and four clear ahead of the second placed Guinea Bissau.
The Swiss report claimed that sanction hangs over the Egyptian Federation, which did not respect its commitments with a Swiss company active in the organization of international matches.
It is gathered that a Swiss company active in the organisation of matches has an open invoice with the Egyptian Football Association, which has not paid it.
On December 5, 2023, the Association was ordered by the FIFA Tribunal to pay this amount for breach of contract.
On February 22, the same Association received a fine from the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for non-compliance with the December 5 decision and a deadline of 30 days to pay.
And on August 19, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee fined the Egyptian Football Association again for non-compliance with the decision and gave a final deadline of 30 days to pay the full amount.
