If you were to ask Cristiano Ronaldo what he thinks about the referee who officiated the friendly match at Stožice, we’re sure he wouldn’t have any good words for him. Irfan Peljto has thoroughly angered the Portuguese superstar, and now he has also stirred up a lot of dust in his native Bosnia and Herzegovina. The international referee has decided that he no longer wants to officiate matches for the clubs Željezničar and Sarajevo. The reason? Threats!
As reported by SportSport.ba, both Irfan Peljto and his close family members are said to have been threatened. “As we learned from sources close to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Sarajevo Canton, Peljto officially reported the threats,” the mentioned media writes, adding that the renowned referee has already communicated his decision to the football association.
Leading Sarajevo from the coaching bench is the Slovenian expert Simon Rožman, and the club’s sports director is Senijad Ibričić, a former sports director of Domžale. The latter is expected to receive a suspension lasting almost a year due to his protest at a cup match. The reason? Dissatisfaction with the … refereeing!
