Zamalek presses Egyptian FA to release VAR recordings from Al Ahly defeat, rules out FIFA complaint

Zamalek presses the Egyptian Football Association to release VAR recordings from its Al Ahly defeat while ruling out escalation to FIFA.

• Zamalek formally requested the VAR-room recordings from its 0-2 loss to Al Ahly in the sixth league round, contesting decisions by the Slovenian referee.
• The Egyptian Football Association rejected the request, holding that the referee's decisions did not warrant releasing the recordings.
• Maher Gharib, head of Zamalek's media system, said the association's silence meant the club was deprived of deserved penalty calls.
• A Zamalek source said the club will not file a complaint with FIFA, treating the case as internal Egyptian football affairs.
