Istvan Kovac was accused of favoring CFR Cluj, and Rezvan Burleanu (FRF president) said that the referee will be heard by the Disciplinary Commission.

Istvan Kovach will be heard at the Disciplinary Commission

The latest accusations against Kovacs appeared after the match between CFR Cluj and Petrolul Ploiesti (1:0) (ninth stage of the Super League). In the 48th minute, Prahoven called for a penalty after Ayeti’s hard tackle on Pedro Justiniano, but the referee allowed the game to continue.

Burlianu says that he trusts Kovac and says that the referee from Carey can be delegated for any match in Romania.

“Just the other day, I saw someone read from István Kovac’s mouth what he would have passed on to another referee. The record immediately appeared, which is an element of gratitude, transparency, and certainly the Judicial Commission will continue to do so in the future when there are such sensitive cases.

Regarding the topic with Istvan Kovac and the relationship in Cluj, I can tell you that there is a process in the Disciplinary Commission. It is only a matter of time before the parties are asked to prove the allegations. I’m sure these things will also be regulated at the level of legal commissions.

Since 2014 and until now, as the president of the Russian Federation, I have not delegated a single football referee! I did not promote! I did not take part in the challenges of the national team. If there is a delegation for a specific match, then the president of the arbitrators’ commission should answer this question.

From my point of view, there is no problem that Istvan Kovac, who is the number one referee in Romania, can be delegated for any match in Romania!” – Rezvan Burleanu.
