Any more than a ref being a fan of any given club?

They obviously wouldn't officiate games for the clubs they played for, or their rivals. Current referees are already subject to restrictions like this, everyone has a favourite club that they're going to be biased towards.

mate, they let officiate referees who are on UAE payroll, they don't give about conflict of interest
