Amin Mohamed to referee Argentina vs Austria in FIFA World Cup 2026

Egyptian referee Amin Mohamed will take charge of the high-stakes Argentina vs Austria match at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The showdown, scheduled for Monday, June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM local time in Arlington’s Dallas stadium, marks a pivotal moment in the tournament’s group stage. Mohamed will be supported by his fellow Egyptians, Mahmoud Abouelregal and Ahmed Hossam Taja, as assistant referees. Spain’s Alejandro Hernández and Diego Sánchez will serve as fourth official and reserve assistant referee, respectively.

Mohamed has already demonstrated his capabilities during this World Cup, officiating the South Korea vs Czech Republic match with a clean record, earning praise from FIFA officials. This strong performance has now positioned him as a trusted choice for a crucial second-round fixture.

The Egyptian referee began his professional journey in Egypt’s top division in 2013 before making his international debut in 2018 during a CAN qualifier between Uganda and Lesotho. Since then, he has steadily climbed the ranks, officiating in major continental competitions, including the CAF Champions League, the semi-finals of CAN 2023, and two matches in CAN 2025.
