Not only Ahmed Al Kaf, this referee was also highlighted by Shin Tae-yong for causing harm to Indonesia
Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Referee from Oman Ahmed Al Kaf is going viral in Indonesia after officiating the Bahrain vs Indonesia match which ended with a score of 2-2, in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match for Asia zone group C, Friday (11/10/2024) early morning WIB.
Ahmed Al Kaf is considered to have harmed the Indonesian National Team when officiating the match. He allowed the match to continue even though the stipulated six minutes of extra time had passed.
Ahmed Al Kaf let the match continue until the ninth minute, and only ended it after the score was tied at 2-2.
The Indonesian national team coach, Shin Tae-yong, highlighted referee Ahmed Al Kaf’s decision.
Shin Tae-yong stated that both teams had given their best performance until the final whistle sounded. However, he felt the need to re-evaluate several decisions made by referee Ahmed Al Kaf in the match.
“If AFC wants to continue to progress, then the quality of the referee’s decisions and leadership must be improved,” said Shin Tae-yong in a press conference quoted by PSSI.
Shin Tae-yong also understands his players’ disappointment with some of referee Ahmed Al Kaf’s decisions. “Regarding the additional time which should have been 6 minutes, but was extended to more than 9 minutes, as well as several referee decisions which I thought were unfair. “I think it’s natural that our players feel disappointed with this situation,” he said.
This was the strong reaction of the coach from South Korea, since the Indonesian U-23 National Team failed to advance to the 2024 Olympics in Paris. At that time the national team was defeated by Guinea 0-1 in the play-off round match.
In this match, Shin strongly criticized French referee Francois Letexier, whose decision to award a penalty resulted in Indonesia losing 0-1 to Guinea and losing their ticket to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
