VAR To Be Used At CAF Champions League Final
Video assistant referees (VAR) will be used in the CAF Champions League final for the first time on Friday when AL Ahly of Egypt host Esperance of Tunisia in the first leg.
The system allows off – field referees to assist match officials regarding goals , penalty and straight red card decisions ,and mistaken identity when awarding red and yellow cards.
VAR has been used once before in Africa , for the 2018 CAF Super Cup match between Wydad Casablanca of Morocco and TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
While VAR has been both lauded and loathed by footballers and officials, its use at the World Cup in Russia this year was considered “ largely successful ” by FIFA .
“ We used it for the Super Cup last February without any hitches and are delighted to go a step further. This is another historic moment for African football. CAF is determined to use the latest innovative technologies available. ”CAF general secretary Amr Fahmy said .
