Egyptian Football Federation Secures Full US Tax Exemption for World Cup Reward

Mustafa Ezam, the executive director of the Egyptian Football Federation, announced that the federation has obtained a complete tax exemption from United States authorities. The exemption ensures that the entire prize money for Egypt’s participation in the FIFA World Cup will be received without any US tax deductions.

The year‑long effort involved opening a US‑based bank account for the federation, submitting documentation that proved its non‑profit status, and receiving an official letter and certificate from the Internal Revenue Service confirming the exemption for all activities in the United States. The full payment is expected to support the national teams’ development and financial planning.
