The Argentina national team will face Egypt in the World Cup round of 16 with François Letexier as referee. The match will take place next Tuesday in Atlanta.
Letexier is a 37-year-old French referee who has demonstrated his experience in high-level matches. He began his career in Ligue 1 in 2016 and has officiated matches in the Euro 2024 and the Europa League.
The match between Argentina and Egypt promises to be a high-tension encounter. Egypt comes into the match after defeating Australia in a penalty shootout, while the Argentina national team secured their spot with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Cape Verde in extra time.
