International referee Amin Omar said that the level he showed in the African Cup of Nations was the result of effort, fatigue, great work, and then God’s success during the matches.

Omar continued in television statements: “It was an honor for an all-Egyptian refereeing team to take charge of the opening match of the African Cup of Nations, because of the confidence of the African Referees Committee.”

He added: “The referees’ committee after the opening match praised us and thanked us for the performance and was happy with the performance of the Egyptian referees, to the point that the tournament referees contacted us and told us that you embarrassed us before we played the matches, which made me realize our success.”

The international referee continued: “Public criticism in Egyptian football and the comparison between the performance we showed in the tournament and the league is normal, especially since the fans view the referee with belonging and their desire to count the games in favor of their team, but the Egyptian referee is the same whether in the league or other forums, but the pressures in Africa It is better for the referee, especially since we want to appear well to continue in the tournament or FIFA camps, in addition to honoring Egyptian football.”

He continued: “Refereeing in Egyptian football has a negative role, which is that the referee may stay away from matches for 40 days, whether she performs outstandingly or performs poorly due to rotation.”

He concluded: “We spoke with Pereira on the sidelines of the recent Egyptian Super Cup, in order for there to be fairness in the distribution of matches and that the referee must be his man on the field, but he responded in an inappropriate manner that I refuse to disclose.”
