The decision was announced during an extraordinary session held on Thursday, with the suspension taking immediate effect as a precautionary measure following the serious incidents surrounding the match.
The controversial encounter was halted in the 87th minute with the score tied at 1-1 after tensions escalated inside the stadium.
According to reports, frustration intensified following several refereeing decisions during the game, including the disallowing of a disputed goal that angered supporters of AS Vita Club.
The situation quickly spiralled out of control as supporters invaded the pitch while disorder spread across sections of the stadium.
The disturbances reportedly led to injuries and significant property damage, raising fresh concerns about security management and officiating standards in Congolese football.
By suspending the National Referees Commission, LINAFOOT has taken one of its strongest disciplinary measures in recent years as officials attempt to contain the fallout from the incident.
The league’s management committee indicated that the decision forms part of wider efforts to investigate the failures linked to the match and restore confidence in the organisation of the domestic championship.
The controversy arrives during a crucial stage of the season, with teams battling for important positions in the standings and pressure continuing to rise across the competition.
LINAFOOT also hopes the temporary suspension will help ease tensions while investigations into the incidents continue in the coming days.
The events at Tata Raphaël Stadium have once again placed the spotlight on refereeing standards, crowd control and matchday security in Democratic Republic of the Congo football.
