Four Ghanaian officials are currently attending a groundbreaking Video Assistant Referee (VAR) course organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
This course marks a significant milestone as it is CAF’s first-ever VAR training session specifically designed for regional zones, with the WAFU B zone taking the lead.
The Ghanaian participants in this training include Rita Ama Nkansah Boateng, Julian Nii Akwa Nunoo, Emmanuella Aglago, and Alex Kotey.
The course aims to enhance the quality of refereeing in the region by equipping these officials with the latest VAR techniques and practices.
This initiative reflects the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) commitment to improving the standards of football officiating in the country and underscores Ghana’s active role in shaping the future of African football.
As WAFU B pioneers this essential training, it sets a precedent for other zones to follow, ensuring a more consistent and reliable officiating framework across CAF competitions.
