Ahmed Hossam Awad, a member of the tripartite committee of the Egyptian Football Association, confirmed that there is no intention to cancel the video assistant referee technology during the current season, pointing out that there are other forms of application that are better than the current one.
Awad indicated in statements via Sada Al-Balad channel that the tripartite committee had asked clubs to bear part of the costs of implementing the technology, until the current agreement status was reconciled.
A member said: “There is no intention to cancel the video technology. The five-year committee made a great effort to implement it and it was a positive step, but we were surprised that the company that provides the service works with a letter of attribution and not an official contract.”
He continued: “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 to the clubs that they pay part of the dues temporarily until the conditions are reconciled.”
He concluded, “There are many forms of applying video technology that are much better than those currently in our matches.”
For his part, Mohamed El Shawarby, a member of the FIFA Triple Committee, confirmed in statements on the same channel that the current season of the Egyptian We League will end before the end of next September.
Al-Shawarby said: “We have a draft schedule for the league table until its end. The competition will end before September 30, and matches will stop during the period of the Tokyo Olympics, and this is what has been settled.”
