Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will be used in Ghana for the first time at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium as the Black Stars of Ghana prepare to host the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs.
In photos posted by the National Sports Authority ahead of the crucial World Cup qualifying game, a team from the Confederation of Ghana Football is seen installing the Video Assistant Referee at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
The National Sports Authority (NSA) shared photos of the VAR being installed at the stadium in a tweet on their official Twitter page.
“VAR has successfully been installed at the Baba Yara Sports stadium, Kumasi, ahead of the World Cup playoff qualifier between Ghana and Nigeria on Friday. This is the first time the technology is applied in Ghana,” the NSA tweeted.
