World Cup viewings bring joy to Gazans, but sorrow following organizer's killing

But heartbreak came when al-Wahidi was killed by an Israeli strike on July 7, the same day that Egypt was knocked out by Argentina at the World Cup.

Ahmed Ghoneim has the story in this episode of More Than Just a Game. #worldcup2026 #mtjag
