Fifa to probe Egypt over attacks

By The Statesman

Fifa have begun disciplinary action against the Egyptian Football Association after Algeria's players were attacked in Cairo last week.

The world governing body said it had received reports of "incidents affecting the team" when they arrived in Cairo for a World Cup qualifier.

Egypt won the game 2-0, forcing a play-off in neutral Sudan to decide which team would qualify for the World Cup.

Algeria were 1-0 winners of Wednesday's play-off game at the Khartoum Stadium.
