The management of the Saudi Al-Nasr Club issued an official statement on Saturday evening, expressing its regret for what it called the failure of the referees committee in the Saudi Football Federation to bring distinguished foreign referees to the team’s matches, the last of which was against Al-Tai on Friday, as it considers that the referee did not award a correct penalty for the team and awarded an incorrect goal. True to the opponent in the last gasp of the match.
Al-Nasr administration said that when it requested foreign refereeing teams for its matches, it aimed to reduce arbitration errors that the team is exposed to, and added: If we knew that the Saudi Federation would bring in referees less than the level of local government, we would have saved the financial costs and given the local rulers the opportunity, especially since the ruling chamber “Var” in the Tai match was inexperienced with technique.
And she continued: We are surprised by the way in which the resident of the referees who accompanied them was chosen, and he is one of the referees who had famous positions in previous matches that the team played.
The statement concluded: We stress our demand to bring in distinguished foreign referees for the upcoming matches, who provide levels equivalent to the large sums that the club bears in order to attract them and preserve the club’s rights and competition fairness.
