Ahmed Abu Bakar Said Al-Kaf (Arabic: أحمد أبو بكر سعيد الكاف; born 6 March 1983) is an Omani professional football referee.[3] He has been a full international for FIFA since 2010.[4]
Controversies
On 18 January 2020, Al-Kaf was questioned for several dubious rulings made on 2020 AFC U-23 Championship Quarter Finals between Saudi Arabia against host, Thailand. He gave away a controversial penalty in the 78th min, Al-Kaf first awarded Saudi a free kick just outside the box, but then VAR officals changed it to a penalty, but he didn’t check the monitor by himself.[5] The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) sent an official letter to the Asian Football Confederation for questioning the fairness and integrity of officiating in the match.[6]
On 10 October 2024, Al-Kaf again came under heavy scrutiny after he was accused of making biased decisions in the match between Bahrain and Indonesia in the 2026 World Cup qualification, including allowing the game to go on for nine additional minutes, despite six minutes were originally given and no major time wasting. The Football Association of Indonesia had sent a complaint letter to FIFA, with executive member Arya Sinulingga stating "[Al-Kaf] extended the adding time just to allow Bahrain to score an equalizer".[7][8] The Oman Football Association (OFA) would later condemn the "use of threatening and intimidating language" towards Al-Kaf by Indonesian fans,[9] defending the Omani referee team while claiming that the association was looking into the incident with the relevant authorities.[10]
