Telenet Giants Antwerp was scheduled to play against RSW Liège Basket on October 28, 2023, but the Walloon club has decided not to show up in protest against the referees. Liège, currently standing at 1-2 in the BNXT League, has stated that referees provide more protection to native players than to import players. This has led to frustrations, especially after a recent game where three foreign players from Liège had to leave the court with five fouls. Anthony Cambo, son of owner Ernie Cambo, also received a technical foul and had to exit after his fifth foul. Liège's decision not to play against Telenet Giants Antwerp sends a clear message about the refereeing criteria they consider unfair. The club has expressed in a press release that this situation not only affects player performance but also their future earnings and tax revenues for the government. The issue surrounding referees remains a hot topic in Belgian basketball, and Liège hopes to draw attention to the inequality they experience with this action. If Liège does not show up, they will lose the game 20-0 and may face severe penalties.
