Egyptian coach Essam El-Hadary apologized to the Jordanian national team's delegation due to an incident during the match between the two countries' teams on Saturday night in the quarter-finals of the 2021 Arab Cup. The Egyptian Football Association published a video showing El-Hadary embracing Iraqi coach Adnan Hamad of the Jordanian team, with a caption stating: "El-Hadary apologizes to Adnan Hamad after the match."
The Honduran referee issued a red card to Essam El-Hadary following this incident. El-Hadary approached the Jordanian bench and celebrated the third goal scored by his compatriot Marwan Dawood against Jordan (3-1), which led to verbal disputes between the coaching staff of both Egypt and Jordan.
