Zamalek rejects the Egyptian referee by meeting Al-Ahly .. and asks: "Why this match?"

Zamalek club announced its categorical refusal to play the summit match against its traditional rivals Al-Ahly with an Egyptian referee team, stressing that the last 20 summit matches were held by foreign referees, asking: "Why is this match specifically going to be managed by a local referee?".

A spokesman for the board of directors of Zamalek, Amr Dardiri, said through the official website of the Zamalek club: “We have not received a notification that the match will be held by an Egyptian referee team, so we did not send any letters, but based on the statements of the head of the tripartite committee Ahmed Mujahid hours ago, Zamalek is preparing a letter to send it to the Federation The ball is to object to the Egyptian arbitration team. "

He added: "We respect everyone, but we reject the presence of an Egyptian team, the last 20 summit matches that were held by foreign referees, why this match will be held by Egyptian referees? Especially since the confrontation is witnessing a narrow difference between the two teams in points, and the Corona pandemic is not an excuse."

Zamalek has 33 points from 14 games, while Al-Ahly has 27 points from 11 games, which means that the difference between the two teams is simple, and the lead and perhaps the title are small details.

Dardiri added, "I see that things at the present time do not bear more crises. Time is sufficient to attract foreign rule, and the foreign will cause relief for both parties."

And about Al-Ahly's approval of assigning the match to an Egyptian referee team, he said: “This is Al-Ahly’s affair, I could not talk about it, but Zamalek clings to the foreign referee, and this is not a diminution of the Egyptian referee who runs all matches with high efficiency, but the summit match is always held by a foreign referee.”
