Diagnosing the reality in a realistic way is the beginning of the solution to every crisis we are exposed to, and here I thank the Football Association, first for making the decision to return the foreign referee, and secondly for not standing with the citizen referee just because he is a citizen, but to save the system and to raise the efficiency of the citizen government and contact with the expertise and external competencies of the stadium judges, and it seems That there are those who praise the citizen rule as if we have abandoned it, as if the Emirati rule is wronged and the rest of the system aims to bring it down. Unfortunately, most of our challenges and failures are due to the administration in all fields, because whoever objects to the presence of foreign rule must know that the sports street, club administrations, players and the media, They endured many disasters, not mistakes in the field of arbitration, and unfortunately the level of arbitration is declining with the presence of the “mouse”, as the “mouse” has become evidence of the catastrophic cases that led to the loss of a lot of money due to arbitration disasters, or as some call it arbitration errors, and errors became The basis of football and premeditated,What made the Emirati government in a position of weakness in front of the entire system, and unfortunately the basis for the error is the management of the committee, and I do not mean the current one, but most of the referees’ committees and the way the committee’s work is carried out and the management of referees.

Gentlemen, honorable people, your defense of the Emirati rule has harmed the UAE arbitration, and it has an impact on the level of tournaments, and the departments, technical staff and players leave the text due to anger at most decisions, and if they speak, you will find the penalties issued against them, but when catastrophic mistakes occur against them, we find the phrase “the referee is human.” And as if the rest of the system were other creatures, and everyone who tries to compliment and the way he evaluates the situation emotionally or to please people, that is the great disaster.

In an article, four years ago, on the lips of one of the rulers of the UAE league, I talked about the idea of ​​foreign rule, and I asked him whether the UAE government fears the presence of the foreigner, and the response was strong and beautiful, and the ruling confirmed that the presence of the foreign rule constitutes for the citizen rule a great motive and a challenge to prove oneself, and research About the opportunities for excellence in the presence of qualified foreigners, and here the slogan is for the better because we have already been patient with many personal opinions and administrative confusions in managing the important committee in the football system.

The decision to return the foreign referee is brave and strong, and we thank the Football Association for it, but we must focus on the quality of the foreign referee, its management and the mechanism for implementing the decision, and without a doubt the mistakes will continue, but we do not hope that the arbitration disasters will continue.

• The decision to return the foreign referee is brave and strong, and the Football Association is grateful for it, but the focus must be on the quality of the referee.
