Official Statement from Muok Union Tonj South County.
To the Office of Tonj Local Football Association,
We, Muok Football Team, strongly condemn the decision to shorten the match between Muok FC and Thony FC to 45 minutes. Despite no fault of the players or fans, the match was cut short due to referee error. We demand the match be replayed in its entirety (90 minutes) as per standard regulations.
The mistake was made by the referee, not the teams. Justice demands fairness – replay the match with full duration.
Football should never be stopped by fan violence or threats! Matches must be played fairly and safely. If fans are the issue, address THAT – not punish the teams. Muok FC's stance is clear: replay the match, full 90 minutes, and tackle the real problem – unruly fans and poor officiating 🛑
Signed,
Secretary General, Culture, Youths & Sports
Muok Union, Tonj South County
