VAR system to be used in Armenian football championship

14:38,

YEREVAN, JUNE 28, ARMENPRESS. The video assistant referee (VAR) system could be used in Armenia’s football championship, President of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) Armen Melikbekyan said during the FFA meeting.

“We have started the process of installing VAR system which will last for about 8-10 months. The process is complex and connected not only with technical capacities, but also with the training of referees. The system will help to better hold the championships”, he said.

The video assistant referee (VAR) is a match official in association football who reviews decisions made by the head referee with the use of video footage and headset for communication. This is specifically in order to minimize human errors causing substantial influence on match results.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
