Decidedly, it is not only Algeria which has decided to react after its elimination from the 2022 World Cup by railing against arbitration. Mali, which lost to Tunisia in the play-offs a few weeks ago (0-1, 0-0), also seized FIFA. The Malian federation believes that it was disadvantaged in this meeting since a goal was unfairly denied to the Malians in the return match.
“In the 5th minute, we scored a goal which was disallowed. Immediately after the match we formulated a request which we sent via the match commissioner to FIFA. So we made a request to FIFA for what we call a refereeing error. It’s a big disappointment for our country, when we see what these young people have produced and we’re not at the World Cup, there’s pain.”announced the president of FEMAFOOT Mamoutou Touré at a press conference.
