The International Football Association “FIFA” has approved the Saudi Football Association among the expert federations in the “VAR” video assistant referee technology, after the technology was applied locally for the third consecutive season, according to the Saudi newspaper, Sabq.
The International Federation sent an official letter to the Saudi Federation regarding the development of technology in the Saudi stadiums, considering the Saudi Federation one of the most important federations that contributed to the development of technology and achieving its goals in the past years, and thanked the Saudi Federation for the continuous cooperation that resulted in achieving a new advancement in the technology of “the mouse”.
Last February, the Saudi Federation inaugurated the Unified Center for Video Assistant Referee Technology (VAR) in the 20th round of the Saudi Professional League and the Yellow Professional League.
Thus, the Saudi Federation has become the seventh in the world after the English, Spanish, German, Dutch, French and Swiss, to inaugurate the unified center for the “mouse”.
The use of the technology was also officially approved in the “Yellow” professional league, starting from the second round of the ended sports season.
The number of internationally accredited Saudi video technology referees reached 51, including 23 field referees and 28 assistant referees for video technology.
