Vasco officials protest refereeing decisions in Brazilian league
Vasco da Gama officials and supporters have expressed strong indignation regarding refereeing decisions during recent matches in the Campeonato Brasileiro. Following a match against Athletico-PR, Vasco supporters criticized referee Ramon Abatti Abel and the VAR team for failing to award a penalty involving striker Brenner.
Alan Belaciano, President of the Vasco General Assembly, issued a statement demanding respect for the club and its supporters. While celebrating a 3–1 comeback victory against Athletico-PR, Belaciano emphasized that the positive result does not erase the concerns regarding officiating quality. He called on the Refereeing Commission to ensure fair playing conditions.
These tensions follow previous disputes involving the club. Vasco had recently met with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to contest officiating in a Copa do Brasil semifinal against Palmeiras. Although there were initial reports regarding the suspension of certain referees following these meetings, the CBF later denied that any such disciplinary actions had been taken.
