Turkish Football Federation (TFF) Vice President Mustafa Erogut said on Wednesday that the federation is working on a new system that will allow the public to view a video of a referee decision made using the Video Assistant Referee System (VAR), according to Anadolu Agency.

Erogut said at a press conference in Ankara that the new practices will be implemented in Week 26 of the Trendyol Super Lig 2023-24 season, which will begin on Feb. 18.

The federation is working on a new system to share VAR recordings of Super Lig matches with the public, similar to the Spanish La Liga tournament, and will issue a final statement on the subject once the testing phase is complete.

VAR referee Mustafa Ilker Coskun also explained the Semi-Automatic Offside System, at the press conference saying 10 high-resolution cameras are installed in each stadium where Super Lig matches are played, and that these cameras instantly transmit images to the VAR center.

In this way, he pointed out that the time required to review a position, including the animation transmitted to the broadcasting organization, has significantly decreased.
