Video assistant referee high on PSL and Safa agenda

The Premier Soccer League (PSL) new general manager, Andile “Ace” Ncobo, has promised to assist Safa to successfully implement the video assistant referee (VAR) in SA.

“At this moment, even if you can take any of the referees, except those of course who have been exposed to VAR on the national level, if you can take any of the referees and put them behind the machine they will be able to give us that service,” he said.

“Anyway, Fifa will not allow us to have VAR until the referees have gone into the required training. So what we can commit to is that from the side of the league we are ready and willing to assist Safa. “There is a strong willingness from the executive of the league to have VAR like yesterday. I know because I have had conversations with Victor Gomes, the CEO [Tebogo Mothlanthe] and Abdul Ebrahim and everyone that I speak with wants VAR.Safa hasn’t confirmed when the VAR system will be implemented as there are many steps that need to be taken first.
