The Sfaxien Club has hinted at withdrawing from the Tunisian Football League in protest against what it described as refereeing errors witnessed in its recent match against Club Africain, which ended in a 1-1 draw and sparked widespread controversy in local sports circles.

CS Sfaxien requested the Tunisian Football Federation to provide the VAR recordings of the match, considering their disclosure necessary to clarify what happened and determine responsibilities, especially after the controversial refereeing decisions that affected the outcome of the game.

The club's management confirmed that it would take escalatory steps if its demands are not met, indicating the possibility of suspending its participation in the league as an unprecedented protest move in Tunisian football.

This crisis comes at a critical time in the season, as the debate intensifies over the level of refereeing and VAR technology in Tunisia, amid public and media demands for reforming the refereeing system and enhancing transparency within the competition.
