CAF will not like this call from the Al Ahly coach on VAR

Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller has challenged CAF on the importance of video assistance refereeing (VAR) in the group stage of the CAF LDC.

Kollet and Al Ahly qualified for the quarter-finals of the competition this weekend. However, the Red Devils coach believes a legitimate goal was unfairly ruled out against Orlando Pirates.

“Al Ahly scored a valid goal which was canceled by the referee for no apparent reason. It’s sad that we lost because of a refereeing error.”Koller said after the match, according to African Football.

Koller calls for VAR to intervene at this stage of the tournament. “Why doesn’t CAF use video technology during the group stage? The African Champions League is the largest competitive level tournament on the continent. »

“We apologize to the referees because they did not see all the refereeing cases clearly and it is important that they receive assistance. CAF must reconsider its decision to exclude VAR from the group stage. »
