The Egyptian national team captain, Hossam Hassan, and coach Ibrahim Hassan had a physical altercation with a police officer at their Dallas hotel. The officer admitted fault, and Hassan stated he accepted the apology, resolving the incident. The conflict reportedly occurred because an Egyptian player took a photo with a fan in the hotel lobby, prompting the officer to intervene. According to the Dallas Police Department, officers acted on request from the hotel's security after someone attempted to enter without proper authorization. The situation was resolved, and the police spoke with representatives of the team afterward. Hossam Hassan is the first Egyptian to participate in a World Cup both as a player and a coach.
