Al Ahly 🔴 have decided to escalate their dispute with the refereeing committee to Egypt’s Ministry of Youth and Sports following controversial decisions in their recent match against Ceramica Cleopatra ⚽🔥.

According to a club source, Al Ahly will submit an official memo within hours requesting intervention, accusing the referees’ committee of unfair treatment and influencing the title race 🏆.

The club reportedly relies on statements from Spanish referee chief Oscar Ruiz, who said he was not contacted regarding foreign referees for the derby match that Al Ahly previously withdrew from, resulting in penalties 💰.

Al Ahly is also reviewing reports regarding the refusal to allow their delegation to attend the VAR audio hearing for the Ceramica Cleopatra match 👀.

The match itself witnessed major controversy after a potential penalty was not awarded despite VAR review, prompting Al Ahly to demand access to full VAR recordings 🔥.

A club delegation led by board member Sayed Abdel Hafiz visited the Egyptian FA headquarters but was denied entry due to procedural restrictions ⚠️.
