The Referees Committee of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has approved the appointment of a foreign refereeing team to manage the match between Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr, as part of the Roshn Professional League competition, in a notable move ahead of the anticipated encounter.

This decision came after official moves by Al Ahly, which submitted a request to appoint foreign referees to officiate the match, in an effort to ensure the highest levels of refereeing fairness.

Sources confirmed that the committee responded to the request within the specified timeframe and decided to assign the management of the match to an international team with experience in major games.

The match between the two teams will be held at the First Park Stadium, as part of the thirty-first round, in a confrontation that holds great significance in the race for the title.

Both teams enter the match with shared ambitions to secure a victory, amidst the intense competition with Al Hilal, which continues to strongly pursue the lead.

This step is expected to help calm the atmosphere surrounding the match, especially after the refereeing controversy that accompanied some recent league encounters.
