Al -Ahly’s single youth is behind the decline in the use of the “foreign whistle”

The former international referee in football, Abdullah Al -Aji, said that there is more than one reason behind the reluctance of large clubs to use the foreign whistle in the remaining matches of the ADNOC Professional League competition, the most important of which is that big teams move away from the competition for the league, such as Al -Wahda, Al -Wasl, Al -Ain and Al -Jazeera, along with Sharjah, whose chance of competition began to shrink after the Al -Ahly youth was ranked by 11 points from Sharjah Al -Wasif, as well To attract a foreign referee, which amounts to 170,000 dirhams for one match.

Al -Aji added to «Emirates Today»: “At the beginning of the season, the chances of the big teams will be close to competing for the title, so some of them used the foreign arbitration, but some of them are currently declining, which means that (the foreign whistle) will not be present unless there are final matches, especially the final of the President’s Cup.” In the remaining four rounds of the league, eight heavy -caliber matches were highlighted, she was a candidate for the presence of the foreign whistle in it, but after Al -Ahly youth approached the league title, the rate of use of arbitration sets from abroad to manage these matches.

The eight matches, which were nominated for the existence of the foreign whistle, are: Al -Wasl with Al -Ahly youth, Al -Ain with Al -Jazeera, Al -Wahda with Sharjah, in the 23rd round, victory with Al -Ahly youth, Sharjah with Al Ain in the 24th round, Al -Wahda with Al -Jazeera in the 25 round, Al -Jazeera with Al -Ahly youth, and Sharjah with Al -Wasl in the 26th and final round of the league competition and the foreign whistle appeared last time in the Al -Jazeera match With the postponed Sharjah of the 16th round, which was held last Sunday, which ended in a 1-1 draw, it was led by an arbitration team from Romania, led by international referee Kovax Estvan.
