Kudjoe Fianoo, the chairman of the Referees Committee, has disclosed that they have proposed the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in various centres to the Normalization Committee when the Ghana Premier League bounce back.

The soccer community in Ghana was left in outrage after a documentary showed around 100 referees and officials allegedly taking bribes.

Among the officials implicated by the documentary were several high-profile Ghanaian referees who were handling the halted Ghana Premier League made and had made headlines for the negative reasons before the explosive investigative piece by Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

FIFA has subsequently banned over ten Ghanaian referees and with football activities yet to bounce back, the Referee Committee which was part of the six ad-hoc committees that was formed to aid the work of the Normalization Committee have proposed the use of VAR in the Ghana Premier League.

"The Referees Committee of the GFA Normalization Committee have proposed the introduction of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and Goal Line Technology at "key" Ghana Premier League centres," the former Ashgold CEO told Atinka FM.

The Executive Committee of CAF have also agreed on the use of the VAR in the 32nd Africa Cup of Nations that will be hosted by Egypt this year.
