Video tech advances Libyan football
The Libyan referees committee is working on developing the refereeing system in football by exploring the experience of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in Tunisia, aiming to expand its use in the Libyan league. The committee visited Tunisia to observe how the technology is managed, understand the workflows and communication mechanisms within the video rooms, and select and train the referees who will utilize VAR. Although limited applications of the technology have previously existed in Libyan stadiums, the biggest challenge lies in establishing a comprehensive, stable system that includes proper equipment, infrastructure, and ongoing referee training—ensuring a significant reduction in impactful refereeing errors. The regular implementation of VAR is expected to contribute to improving the accuracy of decisions related to goals, penalty kicks, and red cards, while maintaining the final decision authority with the on-field referee, in accordance with international protocols. This step presents an opportunity to enhance the quality of refereeing in the Libyan league and keep pace with technological developments in modern football.
