Yacoub Al-Mansour Expresses Outrage Over VAR Issues
In a recent match that took place on Friday, March 6, 2026, Yacoub Al-Mansour Club expressed its vehement protests regarding both the refereeing decisions and the malfunction of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology during their encounter with Al-Fath SC. This match was part of the 15th round of the professional league, held at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, where Yacoub Al-Mansour faced a disappointing defeat, losing by a scoreline of 3-1.
In an official statement, the club did not hold back its discontent, branding the situation a “refereeing and technical farce” that has plagued several of their matches since the start of the professional league season. The club highlighted that the refereeing errors were particularly pronounced during their latest game against Al-Fath, notably with the VAR system being out of operation for a staggering 35 minutes during the match.
Yacoub Al-Mansour has called for a thorough investigation to uncover the reasons behind the VAR malfunction and the management decisions made by the officiating crew during this critical period. They also demanded that the officiating errors, which they believe had a direct impact on the outcome of the match, be reviewed. Furthermore, the club announced that it is compiling a comprehensive file that includes various officiating instances they consider biased against them since the beginning of the season. This file will be presented to the relevant authorities for further action.
