Al Ittihad adopts VAR for 2026 season
The Jordan Football Association has officially begun implementing Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology with the start of the 2026/2027 season, after completing the necessary infrastructure and technical equipment. The project includes equipping seven stadiums, three of which are fixed venues and four are mobile units, aiming to improve the accuracy of refereeing decisions and reduce errors, thereby enhancing transparency and development in Jordanian refereeing standards. Additionally, 24 referees—both male and female—have been trained according to FIFA standards. The protocol is applied in six specific situations related to goals, penalty kicks, red cards, and incorrect player identification, with a total cost of approximately 800,000 Jordanian dinars.
