Real Madrid
September 2025
Real Madrid are challenging Spain’s refereeing structure after Dean Huijsen’s controversial red card in their 2-1 win at Real Sociedad. The Technical Committee of Referees will review the incident, with VAR official Figueroa Vazquez likely to be sidelined for failing to intervene. Madrid plan to escalate complaints to FIFA, submitting reports of refereeing errors across two seasons. The club’s official channel condemned the decision, accusing officials of damaging sporting integrity, and called for international oversight to improve Spanish officiating standards in the wake of repeated controversies.
