Discussions ongoing regarding implementation of VAR on the continent, Caf president Motsepe

Caf president Patrice Motsepe has revealed discussions are ongoing regarding at which level of the game on continent Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will be introduced.

Most of the leagues in Africa, including the Premier Soccer League (PSL), have not introduced VAR, citing exorbitant costs as a major reason for the delay.

Retired South African World Cup referee Victor Gomes said this week, after doing duty in Qatar with assistant Zakhele Siwela, that VAR must be introduced in SA because our football cannot continue without it.

“You should win because you deserve to win and you should not lose because a bona fide mistake was made by match officials,” said Motsepe during a press conference in Johannesburg to reflect on the performances of African teams at the World Cup.
