The Federation Internationale de Football Associations (FIFA) will hold an important meeting with representatives of the Ghana Football Association and relevant operatives regarding the implementation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in Ghana’s domestic leagues.
The two-day meeting, scheduled for October 31 and November 1, 2024, will take place in Accra, with the full VAR project team from FIFA in attendance.
This initial meeting, labelled the VAR kick-off meeting, is a critical first step in FIFA’s Implementation Assessment Approval Program (IAAP), an essential process for any Member Association (MA) aiming to adopt VAR technology.
During the session, FIFA and GFA representatives will review comprehensive aspects of the VAR project and evaluate all necessary dependencies for its successful execution. Following the meeting, FIFA’s approval will mark the official go-ahead for VAR implementation in Ghana’s domestic leagues.
