The Football Association described the referee in this match as a “slanderer” who “distorted” the result of the match and caused the Greens to be excluded. Asked about the issue on Friday, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said he was “not aware” of the federation’s request and that football was difficult. On Tuesday, the Algerian Football Federation published news of the development of this appeal.
“The complaint you submitted to FIFA will be submitted to the Disciplinary Committee for consideration and decision on April 21.”the Federal Authority said in a press release published on Tuesday evening.
