Ibrahim Hassan Continues to Provoke Moroccan Fans: "Do You Have Any Titles? You Haven't Won a Trophy in 50 Years"

Ibrahim Hassan, assistant coach of the Egyptian national team, continues to stir a wave of anger and resentment among Moroccan fans following his controversial statements against Morocco.

During the press conference held before Egypt's third-place playoff match against Nigeria in the Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, Hassan engaged in a heated argument with a Moroccan journalist.

A video clip circulated showing Ibrahim Hassan telling the Moroccan journalist: "Do you have championships? You haven't won any (Africa Cup of Nations) championship in fifty years."

This is not the first provocative incident involving the Hassan twins. Ibrahim previously conspicuously ignored Moroccan fans after the final whistle of Egypt's Round of 16 match against Benin. He made a gesture indicating he would not greet them, a stance many considered provocative and unjustified.
