Pyramids FC have been left unsettled by the news that Spanish referee Javier Rojas will be in charge of their upcoming Egyptian Premier League game against rivals Al Ahly.
The highly anticipated match is set for next Saturday in the fifth round, but the decision has already stirred emotions inside the Pyramids camp.
The Football Association reportedly chose Rojas after a request from Al Ahly, a move that has not gone down well. A source inside Pyramids shared his disappointment with Kooora, especially because the referee’s name was leaked before any official statement.
“Pyramids is awaiting the official announcement of the refereeing team to express its position,” the source told Kooora.
The source recalled a controversial incident involving Rojas in a previous league encounter, where he awarded Al Ahly a penalty after Hussein El Shahat went down in the box despite no foul being committed. That decision left Pyramids feeling unfairly treated, and the memory lingers.
