Jordanian Union: VAR used in four cases
The Vice President of the Jordan Football Association confirmed that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology is used in only four cases: goals (to verify the absence of infringements such as offside or handball), penalty kicks (to confirm whether they should be awarded or canceled), direct red cards (without issuing a yellow card beforehand), and correcting the identity of the offending player. A group of referees monitor the match from a control room outside the stadium, and the main referee can accept their recommendation or review the footage on the screen before making the final decision, which always remains in his hands. The technology was first implemented in the 2026/2027 season with the aim of improving the accuracy of refereeing decisions in the Jordanian league.
