Member of the tripartite committee of the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) Ahmed Hossam Awad affirmed that there is no intention to cancel the video assistant referee VAR technology during the current season.
Awad indicated in statements to Sada El Balad channel that the tripartite committee had called on the clubs to bear part of the costs of implementing the VAR technology until the status of the current agreement is reconciled.
Awad said: "There is no intention to cancel the video technology. The committee of five made a great effort to implement it and it was a positive step, but we were surprised that the company that provides the service is working with a letter of attribution and not an official contract,"
"There is a current dispute between the Football Association and the company. We ask to supply new equipment and the company asks for its dues first. Therefore, we suggested that the clubs pay part of the dues temporarily until the conditions are reconciled," he added.
"There are many forms of applying video technology that are much better than those currently used in our matches." he concluded.
For his part, Mohamed El Shawarby, a member of the EFA tripartite committee, confirmed in statements to Sada El balad channel that the current season of the Egyptian Premier League will conclude before the end of next September.
El Shawarby said: "We have a draft of the league table until its end. The competition will end before September 30, and matches will be halted during the period of the Tokyo Olympics, and this is what has been settled on."
