Damon is a convinced and convinced supporter of the use of VAR. It explains how Caf is gradually implementing it and that the system is already working successfully.

Here are excerpts from quotes from Damon's interview with Safa on VAR:

"We only have a few qualified referees to use the VAR system or officer at matches where this technology is used," Damon told Safa.

The article continues below

"The intention is to have as many referees as possible because we have more than a few. CAF has already started using the VAR system in its competitions, as in the previous two-leg final of the CAF Champions League and CAF Super Cup. "

"Match officials have a great need to make decisions at all times. This VAR technology will help ensure that such decisions are made at matches. FIFA has made it clear that VAR technology is here to stay. And that's because it's the future of SEO in the sport. "

"Statistics have proven that VAR technology played a role in the mbadive drop in disciplinary action against players who were arguing with referees for a decision they did not like," said Damon.

Beginning of the CAF VAR course at JHB. Very proud of this team …
