VAR replaced with local review system

Organisers of the Prime Minister’s Cup have cleared the air as to the use of a video review system for the quarter-final stage of the tournament.

The FIFA Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology was not sanctioned and so a local review system will be utilised in its place.

The Barbados Football Association says it has been contacted by FIFA to reaffirm that every member association must follow the implementation assistance and approval programme in order to implement the use of VAR.

The BFA has confirmed that it has not undertaken the official process to receive FIFA certification for the use of VAR in Barbados, and therefore at this point, the technology is not authorised to be employed at any competition on the island.
