According to an official statement issued by the Directorate, referee Mohsen Al-Surdi, who managed the confrontation between Raja and the Royal Army, was arrested for two matches, due to the controversial decisions that took place during the match.
The penalties also included Abdel Moneim Baslam, assistant referee in the video technology room (VAR) during the same game, where it was decided to suspend him for three games.
With regard to the match of the Union of Tangier against Husnia Agadir, within the first round, which in turn provoked a lot of controversy, the Directorate decided to arrest referee Amin al-Maatawi for one match, while Jamal Balasri, assistant referee in the var, was arrested for two matches.
The National Directorate of Arbitration confirmed that these procedures come within the framework of its keenness to consolidate the principle of transparency and the promotion of integrity within the arbitration system, in addition to raising the quality of arbitration performance to keep pace with the development of national football and meet the aspirations of various interveners.
