After the Egyptian Football Association's refusal, Zamalek's management is consulting to escalate matters regarding the video assistant referee recordings from the Cairo derby match.
Zamalek officials are currently intensively studying how to respond to the Egyptian Football Association's decision to reject the club's request to access the VAR recordings from the Cairo derby against Al Ahly, which took place during the sixth round of the Egyptian Premier League.
Zamalek has not made a final decision regarding escalation in the derby match crisis
Zamalek officials have yet to reach a final decision on whether to take new escalation measures against the Egyptian Football Association's ruling, as discussions are ongoing among the club's board members to assess the situation and determine the appropriate steps moving forward.
The Football Association rejects Zamalek's request to access VAR recordings
The Football Association denied the request based on a previous decision that prohibits clubs from listening to the conversations in the VAR room, which has caused dissatisfaction within Zamalek, especially as the club insists on obtaining clarifications regarding the refereeing incidents raised in their complaint.
The Zamalek board is expected to finalize its position on escalation in the near future, whether by officially challenging the Football Association's decision or by settling for the actions taken so far, following the conclusion of ongoing discussions among board members.
This development comes after Zamalek's defeat to Al Ahly by two goals to nil in the Cairo derby, which was held during the sixth round of the Egyptian Premier League and saw objections from the white club's officials regarding several refereeing decisions.
