Moroccan League to introduce VAR

 

The Moroccan top-flight league will use the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) starting next season.
President of the Royal Football Federation (RFF), Faouzi Lakjaa has announced that the Morocco Botola Pro League will adopt video technology from next season to assist referees.
This comes as VAR is also set to be used at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in June after being tried at the African Nations Championship (Chan) last year in Morocco.
The use of VAR requires specific training and the RFF has partnered with FIFA for the training of referees on the use of this officiating technology.
VAR is yet to be widely adopted in Africa and was used during last season’s CAF Champions League final, first leg but still stirred controversy.
