Jeddah rises for tahajjud
Fawaz Al-Sharif recalls the figure of “Abu al-Ru,” a referee in Jeddah’s neighborhood football games whose whistle commanded silence and discipline. He describes him as someone who could read the rhythm of a match and intervene firmly, without needing the crowd to give him courage. Al-Sharif contrasts this with some local referees’ hesitation under pressure from the stands and their mistakes even with VAR, pointing to how difficult they may find it to apply the 2026 World Cup rule requiring an injured player to leave the field for a minute or two. He believes a referee’s courage and consistency are essential to keeping the game under control and protecting fairness—without allowing players to use going down as a way to disrupt the match.
