Tizi Ouzou, Algeria – JS Kabylie has lodged a formal protest regarding the refereeing performance in their recent match against CS Constantine, which resulted in a 1-0 defeat for the Kabylie side.
The club’s management issued a statement late yesterday evening, following the conclusion of the week 11 fixture in the Professional League, asserting that the team was “the victim of unfair refereeing decisions that impacted the final result of the match.”
According to the statement, JS Kabylie alleges that the referee denied the team “legitimate and clear penalty kicks,” in addition to what they described as “unfair refereeing treatment that did not meet the required level of neutrality in professional football.”
The club’s administration is demanding that the arbitration committee launch “a transparent investigation into what transpired during the match and hold the refereeing team accountable if negligence is proven.” They are also calling for assurances that such incidents will not be repeated in the future.
The loss has further fueled tensions within the club and among its supporters, who have long been critical of what they perceive as biased officiating. The club hopes that a thorough investigation will be conducted and that measures will be taken to ensure fair play in future matches. This incident highlights the ongoing debate regarding refereeing standards in Algerian football and the need for greater transparency and accountability.
