• Al-Ramtha holds Jordan Football Association fully responsible, threatens FIFA action over refereeing errors

In a strongly worded statement, Al-Ramtha Club expressed outrage over repeated refereeing mistakes in the Jordanian Pro League, particularly during their recent 2-2 draw against Al-Baqa’a in the 14th round, which cost them a chance to claim the top spot, leaving them second with 30 points, just one behind leaders Al-Hussein Irbid.

The match sparked intense fan anger and on-field protests, with supporters claiming the referee ignored four clear penalty calls in Al-Ramtha’s favor, fueling widespread debate on social media and in sports circles.

Al-Ramtha criticized the declining quality of local refereeing, highlighting how repeated errors in critical games undermine fairness, distort results, and damage clubs’ rights and efforts. The club stressed that these mistakes, documented by journalists, commentators, and media outlets, have accumulated since the season began without meaningful accountability.

The statement concluded with a clear warning: the Jordan Football Association bears full responsibility, and Al-Ramtha demands immediate and comprehensive reforms to the refereeing system, as well as accountability for those responsible. The club also confirmed it will document all errors this season and formally escalate them to FIFA, pursuing all legal measures to protect the integrity of the league and restore trust in fair competition.
