The Egyptian national team has been forced to make significant alterations to their kits for the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. FIFA has reportedly mandated that they are not permitted to display the seven stars that symbolize the team's record seven Africa Cup of Nations titles. These stars are traditionally depicted above the national emblem and have become an iconic feature of the "Pharaohs'" jersey.

However, FIFA has stated that this symbol must be removed. The global football governing body also requested further changes to the gold lettering used for players' names and their numbering. The Egyptian Football Association has decided to completely replace the traditional gold design used for player numbers and names to comply with the official regulations. These decisions have sparked a local debate among the "Pharaohs'" fans, with many expressing negative sentiments towards FIFA's demand to remove the seven stars, which are a source of immense pride for local supporters.
