“CONCACAF made the decision in 2019 to implement VAR in its competencies from 2021. Since 2019, the Confederation has been training and developing referees in the region to meet this commitment.”
“Several tournaments scheduled for this year, including CONCACAF national team competitions by age groups, were to be crucial opportunities to test the VAR and provide more experience to our referees.”
“The cancellation of these events due to the pandemic has hampered our work in this area. However, despite these challenges, CONCACAF will introduce the VAR in the 2021 edition of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League (SCCL) and the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, “the statement said.
