‘Plans to introduce VAR in SA at advanced stage’

Date: May 23, 2024

Former FIFA World Cup referee, Victor Gomes, says plans to introduce the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in South Africa, are at an advanced stage.

However, he admitted that the country is not yet ready to implement such advanced technology.

The Council of Southern Africa Football Associations introduced VAR last year.

But Gomes says the country is not ready. “No, we are not ready. it's a process, we need to train referees. The broadcasters must also come on board, we don't want to rush it and get it wrong. We want everybody to trust it."
