SINGAPORE — The Video Assistant Referee or commonly known as the VAR will be ready for use when defending Singapore Premier League champions Albirex Niigata FC takes on 2022 Singapore Cup winner Hougang United in the traditional season-opener Community Shield on Feb 19 at the Jalan Besar Stadium at 6 pm.
Earlier in the year, the Football Association of Singapore announced that the VAR received the green light after passing a final assessment by FIFA, which comes after an implementation process that began in February 2022. There was a media VAR workshop held on Monday to showcase the readiness of the system and match officials ahead of the new season.
During the media VAR workshop, Nazeer explained to the Straits Times that last year SPL referees went through 22 training sessions to be accredited to operate the VAR system. There are currently 37 SPL referees. 11 of the 12 match referees are certified as VAR referees, whereas nine of the 25 assistant referees are able to be assigned as VAR assistant referees.
