According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, our league is one of the few leagues that still does not fully use the video assistant referee. In this regard, the officials of the Football Federation have made efforts to equip the stadiums with a video assistant referee system in order to reduce refereeing errors and establish justice between the teams. Among these cases, we can mention the sending of a group of referees to the training course of working with the help of a video referee in Saudi Arabia and the arrival of this device in our country.
In this regard, Mehdi Taj Asr stated to the journalists present at the national teams’ camp today: Maybe two VAR machines will arrive on Thursday, but the third stage of referee training must be done in Saudi Arabia. At the same time, we are trying hard for our judges to be trained here. Major pressure is rightly put on the football federation and it is due to refereeing mistakes. I am also unhappy with the current situation and it has worried everyone. We have to bring the VAR system and Alhamdulillah one or two devices will arrive by Thursday.
