Referees manager for Ghana Football Association, Alex Kotey has revealed that the country's football governing body is working on the introduction of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.
The Ghanaian top-flight league is set to taste the usage of the globally recognized technology next season
Alex Kotey said in an interview with Joy Sports that the delay in implementing the VAR system has been due to funding and FIFA introducing a different technology for African countries.
He added that Ghana is the only country from the WAFU Zone B to have started the VAR project since it was approved for use by FIFA.
“For me, I’m saying that, give and take, by 2023 we should see VAR in Ghana,” Kotey said in an interview with Joy Sports.
VAR was used in Ghana for the first time during the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff first leg game against Nigeria in Kumasi.
