The former Egyptian goalkeeper and coach Abdel Rahim Mohamed Negm, who worked as an analyst on the Nile Sport channel, died after the Egyptian match against Saudi Arabia at the 2018 World Cup.

Mohamed felt bad after the Saudis winning goal in the 95th minute. The commentator was sent to the hospital. However, the doctors failed to save his life and soon reported his death, says Arab News.

Abdel Rahim Mohamed coached Zamalek - one of the strongest clubs in Egypt, and during Mundialya worked on Egyptian television and had to act as an analyst after the game.

Recall that the match ended with a score of 2: 1 in favor of Saudi Arabia. Thus, Egypt lost all three fights at the World Cup 2018. For the Egyptians, this was the first World Cup in 28 years.

Recall, 9 countries, including Ukraine, Australia, Finland, Japan, Denmark, Iceland, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, declared a diplomatic boycott of the World Championship in Russia. The reasons for this were the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine and Syria, the poisoning of Russian ex-intelligence agent Sergey Skripal in Britain, the starvation of Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsov, and the systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the release of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

In 2015, a Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-security colony. The actions in support of the director were held all over the world, including in Russia.
