A video assistant referee (VAR) is a match official in association football who assists the referee by reviewing decisions using video footage and providing advice to the referee based on those reviews.

Kurt Okraku emphasized the association’s determination to introduce VAR in the Ghana Premier League to address doubts and inconsistencies in officiating. VAR is widely used in over 100 countries, predominantly in developed nations and high revenue competition.

VAR technology has transformed the global football landscape, minimizing controversies and ensuring accurate officiating. “We are going to do whatever we will do to introduce VAR into our football; we will, as part of our overall strategy for improving refereeing starting from our GPL, we will. It’s coming,” he stated during the Meet the Press event on Friday.

VAR was first used at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium during the 2022 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria, which helped overturn a penalty decision. It was last used in Dreams FC’s CAF Confederation Cup knockout matches in Kumasi.

The introduction of the VAR will demonstrate Kurt Okraku’s leadership and commitment to the progress of Ghanaian football.

As Ghana embarks on this revolutionary journey of the VAR introduction into its top-flight league, it will improve accuracy, reduce human error, boost competitiveness, and enhance fan’s experiences. Officials, players, and fans are eagerly waiting for the positive impact VAR will bring to Ghana football when it starts.

With the state and nature of our league centers, will the introduction of VAR be a challenge to the association?
