Hosam Hassan, head coach of the Egypt national football team, fainted after being shocked by a brawl between his two wives during their vacation. He later divorced his first wife.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 18th (Korean time) that "Coach Hassan collapsed from severe stress after witnessing his two wives fighting by pulling each other's hair at a luxury hotel in Port Marina, northern Egypt."

According to media reports, the first wife, Howaida Al-Gharbawi, and the second wife, Dan Adam, got into an argument at the hotel bar before starting a physical fight in front of vacationers. Relatives and security personnel intervened to stop them, but both women suffered abrasions and bruises.

Local media "Al Arabiya" reported that "Coach Hassan fainted while trying to break up the fight." In contrast, Hassan's lawyer dismissed claims of his health issues, stating he is in good condition.

Immediately after the incident, Coach Hassan signed divorce papers with his first wife, Howaida, at a Cairo registry office. The couple had been married for decades and had three children together.

Dan Adam's lawyer stated, "She did not want a divorce, but the situation worsened," and claimed her client was subjected to a planned attack while on vacation. Meanwhile, Howaida's lawyer said, "The family will remain silent for now," avoiding specific comments. Coach Hassan married Dan Adam for the second time in 2015 and briefly separated before reconciling in 2022.

Egyptian law allows Muslim men to have up to four wives. However, the registry office must notify existing wives of a new marriage, and husbands are legally obligated to provide equal living standards, including housing and financial support, to all wives.

Meanwhile, Coach Hassan has led the Egypt national team since 2024, guiding them to the Round of 16 in the 2026 North American World Cup. Egypt narrowly lost 2-3 to Argentina in the Round of 16 and was eliminated. Shortly after the tournament, Coach Hassan extended his contract as national team coach until 2030.
