Real Madrid Prepares Refereeing Dossier for FIFA After Huijsen Red and VAR Non-Intervention

The club is taking its complaints outside Spain to escalate a long-running dispute over LaLiga officiating.

Overview

  • Real Madrid TV said the club is compiling a report for FIFA on refereeing decisions affecting the team.
  • The planned dossier will cover the first four LaLiga matchdays of 2025–26 plus disputed incidents from last season.
  • The announcement followed a 1-2 win at Real Sociedad in which Jesús Gil Manzano sent off Dean Huijsen and VAR official Jorge Figueroa Vázquez did not call for a review.
  • Head coach Xabi Alonso said the challenge warranted a yellow given Éder Militão’s proximity and added that the referee’s explanation did not persuade him.
  • Reports note VAR guidance this season to avoid intervening in ‘interpretable’ plays, while club media also highlighted an annulled Arda Güler goal and prior contentious calls.
