Former Ghana international striker Prince Tagoe is optimistic that the implementation of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology will enhance the appeal of the Ghana Premier League.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has held discussions with FIFA regarding the introduction of VAR in the country’s top-tier league.
Tagoe pointed out that ongoing complaints about poor officiating have contributed to a decline in the league’s enjoyment among fans.
He urged GFA officials to ensure that any financial assistance received from FIFA for the VAR initiative is used effectively to implement the technology.
“I think the VAR is a good thing because the way we complain about the officiating all the time makes the league boring. I believe if the VAR is adopted it will help us in terms of officiating issues concerning goals, fouls and offsides,” he said on Angel TV.
Tagoe expressed hope for a fruitful outcome from the GFA’s discussions with FIFA, emphasizing the importance of using the funds responsibly to improve the league’s quality and attractiveness.
“I hope the meeting between the GFA and the FIFA officials will be successful. The GFA officials should utilize the funds that would be given by FIFA to support the initiative appropriately and not squander it. They should do everything possible to grab the opportunity to make the league attractive,” he added.
