CS Sfaxien Threatens Tunisian League Withdrawal Over Refereeing

CS Sfaxien has threatened to withdraw from the Tunisian League following a controversial 1-1 draw against Club Africain in a league match.

The club's management has demanded that the local football federation provide the complete VAR recordings for the match. They stressed that these recordings must be full, without any deletions, cuts, or selective editing of specific parts, including all camera angles and all audio conversations between the on-field referee and the VAR officials.

The management warned that if their demand is not met within a reasonable timeframe, they will be forced to suspend their participation in the league. This action, they stated, would be taken to protect the club's rights and ensure the principle of equal opportunities among teams.

This move by CS Sfaxien comes after the Tunisian Refereeing Committee decided to suspend officials Haythem Guirat and Oussama Chraiet. Their suspension was a consequence of allowing Club Africain's equalizer despite a clear offside incident prior to the goal, which was evident in the video recordings.
