Tanzanian Premier League to use VAR from next season

The use of Video Assistant Referee technology has become widespread throughout the world and Tanzania refused to be left behind.

Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa unveiled plans for the new system on Monday ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

Majaliwa told journalists at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, as reported by PulseSports: "With VAR, the efficiency of our referees will undoubtedly improve, ensuring transparent and fair decision-making.

"This achievement enhances our nation's reputation, ensuring players and fans alike can trust the outcomes of matches, regardless of the level of competition."

Tanzania are in preparations to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations alongside Kenya and Uganda.

Majaliwa added: âœCurrently, we have a good partnership with FIFA and CAF. They have brought different games here, and I believe that with this investment, we should expect them to bring more games to be played in the country.â
