According to a press release by CAF on Monday, Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will be used in the semifinals and final of the inaugural TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League in Cairo, Egypt.
The VAR will help referees in making decisions on clear and obvious errors, after a debatable goal-line incident in the game between Rivers Angels of Nigeria and Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies of South Africa on Matchday two in the group stage.
This is yet another milestone by CAF and a clear demonstration of the organization’s commitment not only to promote women’s football in Africa but to advance professionalism.
Since the opening game of this competition on 5 November 2021, CAF has been overwhelmed by the response from the global community. Matches have been watched in over 30 countries including Africa, South America, Oceania, Europe and South America.
The semi-finals will be contested at the Al-Salam Stadium, Cairo, by Hasaacas Ladies of Ghana, Malabo Kings of Equatorial Guinea, Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies of South Africa and FAR Rabat (ASFAR) of Morocco, on Monday, 15 November 2021.
The final will be played on Friday, 19 November 2021 at the 30 June Stadium in Cairo.
