Al Ain FC has expressed its denunciation of a statement issued against it on Sunday, as mentioned on the football club’s Instagram page.
The club has also affirmed that the matter has been referred to the competent authorities to take the necessary legal measures to safeguard the rights of the club and its members.
The UAE Football Association (UAEFA) issued a strongly worded statement on Sunday, rejecting any questioning of the integrity and competence of Emirati referees.
It also expressed its strong disapproval of Al Ain Club’s official platforms criticizing refereeing decisions and urged the club to adhere to sportsmanship and respect for others’ work.
UAEFA said that it will initiate legal action against Al Ain Club and anyone else who inappropriately questions the work or performance of its members.
This comes after Al Ain Club commented on its match against Al Batayih Sports Club by referring to “numerous controversial refereeing incidents”.
