The highly anticipated Argentina vs Austria World Cup encounter will be officiated by Egyptian referee Amin Mohamed, whose selection underscores FIFA’s confidence in his expertise.

Scheduled for Monday, June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM local time at the Dallas stadium in Arlington, Amin Mohamed will lead a team of Egyptian match officials, including assistant referees Mahmoud Abouelregal and Ahmed Hossam Taja.
