VAR: Ghana initiates steps towards technology adoption in domestic football

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced it has commenced processes towards the implementation of video assistant review (VAR) technology on the domestic scene.

The Ghana Premier League (GPL) is expected to be the first beneficiary.

First written into the Laws of the Game by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in 2018, VAR reviews decisions made by the centre referee by the use of video footage and communication headsets.

"The Ghana Football Association (GFA), has begun the process of implementing the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in domestic competitions," the national football's governing body said in a publication on its official website.
