📢 Referee for Al Ahly vs Pyramids Still Undecided
Essam Abdel Fattah, chairman of the refereeing committee, has provided an update on the selection of the referee for the upcoming Al Ahly vs Pyramids match.
He confirmed that the committee has yet to make a final decision on either the referee’s identity or nationality, with discussions still ongoing over the most suitable officiating team for the fixture.
Given the importance of the match and the level of competition between the two clubs, the committee is looking for referees with the experience required to handle a high-pressure encounter.
⭐ An Elite Referee Is the Target
Speaking to presenter Seham Saleh on the “El Clasico” program on ON E, Abdel Fattah explained that the committee is working to secure the strongest possible officiating option.
He stressed that the aim is to bring in an elite-level referee, while negotiations and discussions continue over the country that could provide the match officials.
The committee also plans to announce the officiating team early enough to allow preparations for the match to be completed in full.
🔥 A High-Profile Match for Egyptian Football
The importance of the Al Ahly-Pyramids clash means the referee will face significant pressure, making experience and international exposure important factors in the selection process.
The refereeing committee therefore wants an official capable of dealing with major decisions and maintaining control throughout the match, particularly given the competitive nature of encounters between the two sides.
⚽ Continued Discussions Before the Final Announcement
Abdel Fattah’s comments come shortly after he discussed the selection process for the foreign refereeing team appointed to handle the upcoming Al Ahly-Zamalek derby.
He explained that several European countries had been unable to provide elite referees, while other countries agreed to send officiating teams.
For the Al Ahly-Pyramids match, however, the final choice remains under consideration, with the committee continuing to evaluate the available options.
🏆 Referees Committee Awaits the Final Decision
Abdel Fattah confirmed that the committee wants to choose the best available officials and intends to announce the Al Ahly-Pyramids referee team early.
The identity and nationality of the referee therefore remain among the key details awaiting confirmation ahead of the highly anticipated encounter.
Do you expect the refereeing committee to bring in a highly experienced European referee for Al Ahly vs Pyramids? ⚽🔥
