According to Fars news agency, Mehdi Taj, the president of the federation, after today’s meeting of the sports faction with the board of directors of the football federation and the managers of the Premier League clubs, said about the latest status of the video assistant referee (VAR): the company we have entered into negotiations with. Vasima, executive headquarters of Farman Imam (RA), Mobarakeh Steel and Khuzestan Steel has a contract and has supplied the cameras of these institutions.

He continued: “The important thing is that this company has been approved and we must start the video assistant referee in any way possible.” It should not happen that Tajikistan and Turkmenistan have video assistant referees (VAR) in the AFC and we are still looking for which company to sign with. Next year, we should have Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the Premier League to minimize refereeing errors. Equipping stadiums with the help of a video referee is the right of football fans.

In response to the question of when the attendance of spectators in the stadiums will be maximum, the head of the federation said: This matter will be done slowly.

Taj said about the discussions about grassroots football in Mashhad: This issue should be pursued through the Mashhad prosecutor because they work on this issue in a specialized way. What was presented in the media was not all true.

The president of the federation said about the selection of the head coach of the national football team: There are also necessities in this field that we will follow. This issue is one of the main priorities of the Football Federation.

He said about some options being proposed in the past few days: “Recently, I saw that an option was proposed in cyberspace and many commented on it, while no negotiations had been done with him through the Football Federation.

Regarding the situation of our country’s national Olympic football team, Taj said: a joint decision was made to select Mr. Kashani for the position of manager of the Omid national team, which was a joint decision by the Football Federation and the National Olympic Committee. The head coach of this team will be chosen soon because we have to participate in the Olympics in one year and seven months, but the current priority is to choose the head coach of the senior national team.
