FIFA pressured Egypt to change their kit closer to the World Cup.

The International Football Federation (FIFA) has required the Egyptian national team to make two mandatory changes to their official match kit.

FIFA has requested Egypt change their kit for the World Cup.

The Egyptian national team is finalizing its preparations for its opening match against Belgium in Group G. However, the "Pharaohs" will not be able to field their planned lineup due to strict FIFA regulations.

FIFA has demanded that Egypt remove seven stars from their national team's emblem. According to the regulations of the world's most powerful football governing body, the stars on jerseys are only to represent the number of World Cup titles won.

Meanwhile, Egypt's seven stars represent the number of times the country has won the African Cup of Nations (AFCON). Despite being the most successful nation in the history of the continental tournament, Egypt is still required to remove these symbols when competing on the world stage.
