Alex Kotei, Referees Manager, Ghana Football Association (GFA), has broached the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology being introduced into the Ghana Premier League (GPL) again.

His comment followed GFA revealing Adesa Production Limited (APL) as the GPL’s new broadcast partner to handle production, ahead of the 2025/2026 football season.

“We could not implement VAR in the past because the league’s broadcasting was not up to standard,” Kotei said, speaking to Akoma FM.

“For VAR to work effectively, you need excellent broadcasting,” he explained.

“With the new broadcaster (APL), we believe that in the coming matches we will then know whether to start using the VAR or not,” he noted.

GPL 2025/26 is set to begin on September 12.
