The president of RFEF confirms Real Madrid’s pressure on the referees

The president of RFEF, Rafael Lozan, has revealed that Real Madrid’s counterpart, Florentino Pérez, has pressed it to alter arbitration in Spanish football. Louzan, who only came to power at the end of 2024, revalled that, although it was still part of the hierarchy in the RFEF that the problem must be solved and was costing whites.

Speaking to El Chiringuito, Louzan explained that Pérez had taken him aside to discuss the matter while both were in Saudi Arabia to attend the Spanish Supercup last year.

“In Arabia a year ago it took me to the side there:” Hey, you have to solve this issue of the referees that are damaging us and that we have lost many titles due to the referees. “I believe in the work of the referees,” Relay Louzan.

Despite several figures in English football that declare that the Premier League should bring referees from abroad, Pérez seems to believe that they are the best.

“Florentino told me a day that he was going to bring English referees to the referees. I said, well, let’s see how we do it then. “

It is an issue that Pérez has returned several times.

“My relationship with Florentino, which was before this, is good, what happens is that Florentino, well, of course, clearly states that he feels harmed in terms of arbitration. Then I say: ‘Hey, look, let’s see.’ I just arrived, we will have to start from scratch, we will try somehow, get along. He is persevering on the subject. “

This is not entirely surprising, given the editorial line taken by Real Madrid TV, which paints all the referees who gives a decision against them as a puppet for a regime against them. It is also so surprising that the president of Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, has several times that the referees favor Real Madrid, recently calling his call as a penalty against Getafe ‘a misfortune’. The manager of Atlético de Madrid, Diego Simeone, has also taken to officiate recently, insinuating that officials who favor Real Madrid is a practice that has been in force for a century.
