According to reports, Egypt have been instructed to remove the stars representing their Africa Cup of Nations titles from their World Cup shirt, as stars on national team crests are reserved for World Cup titles or competitions deemed equivalent in status. Uruguay remains the only exception. FIFA has authorized two additional stars corresponding to the 1924 and 1928 world championships organized under FIFA's authority during the Olympic Games, the only tournaments seen as World Cup equivalents. It raises an interesting question: should continental championships or other major historical achievements be represented with stars, or should stars remain reserved exclusively for world titles?
