Tractor SC CEO alleges interference and criticizes refereeing

Tractor SC CEO Hojat Karimi has raised serious concerns regarding refereeing standards and alleged interference in the club’s success. Following a match against Gol Gohar Sirjan, Karimi criticized officiating decisions and claimed that a specific group has been formed to obstruct the team's progress, calling on the Football Federation to intervene.

The club has also filed formal complaints with the League Organization regarding a previous match against Chadormalu, citing discrepancies in added time and missed penalty calls. Karimi noted that while Tractor remains at the top of the league standings, the inconsistency in refereeing—specifically regarding stoppage time and disciplinary actions—remains a significant issue.

Regarding player availability, the club has agreed to allow Amirhossein Hosseinzadeh to join the national U-23 team following the conclusion of the AFC Champions League, provided conditions allow, to address the national team's injury concerns.
