Zamalek SC files official complaint over refereeing in loss to Al Ahly

Zamalek SC has filed an official complaint with the Egyptian Football Association against the main refereeing committee following their 2-0 loss to Al Ahly in the Cairo Derby. The club's board, led by Hussein Labib, alleges that officiating errors directly impacted the match outcome and undermined the efforts of the players and coaching staff.

In an official statement, Zamalek criticized the selection of the Slovenian officiating crew, describing their performance as inadequate for a high-profile match. The club claims that refereeing decisions were biased and that several critical incidents, including two unawarded penalty shouts, were not reviewed via VAR technology. Zamalek expressed dissatisfaction with how the refereeing committee is managed, suggesting that external pressures have compromised the fairness of the league.
