Controversies

The 2015 Oman Super Cup was a subject of controversy as on 19 August 2015, the defending Oman Professional Leagueand Sultan Qaboos Cup champions, Al-Oruba SC decided to pull out of the 2015 Oman Super Cup, citing non-payment of dues by the Oman Football Association and a late release of its players from national and army team camps as the main reasons behind the club's decision to pull out.[2] [3] [4] On 21 August 2015, Fanja was declared the winner of the Super Cup after its opponent, Al-Oruba, as expected failed to turn up for the match.[5] [6] [7]
