The Referee Manager of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Alex Kotey, has announced that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system will be introduced in the Ghana Premier League next season.

According to Kotey, referees will undergo a three-month training program to help them understand how to use the technology before it is officially put into use.

He added that FIFA’s plan is to roll out the VAR system at the start of the 2025/2026 Ghana Premier League season.

“We want to start next season somewhere in August or September. We have two or three months to train.

That is the plan from FIFA. We can do it in less than three months if our people can catch it fast," he said.

Reports suggest that Alex Kotey and FIFA-certified VAR referee Daniel Laryea will be in charge of training the referees.

In addition, the league's official broadcaster will also receive special training from FIFA experts to get ready for the introduction of VAR in the 2025/26 season.
