VAR technology debut in Super League with 24 trained referees
The Jordan Football Association officially announced the implementation of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology starting with the 2026/2027 season, aimed at enhancing transparency and reducing refereeing errors in matches. Advanced technical preparations have been completed at seven stadiums, including fixed and mobile systems, along with the development of communication and electrical networks to ensure continuous operation under various conditions. Additionally, 24 referees—both men and women—have been trained according to FIFA standards, and the number of officials in each match has increased to six, including video referees and technical operators. The project cost approximately 800,000 Jordanian Dinars, with a significant portion funded by the association and its partners, all to improve refereeing performance and strengthen Jordan’s presence in continental and international tournaments.
