CAF president Ahmad has confirmed when VAR will be used in the upcoming AFCON 2019.




He was addressing journalists at the Cairo International Stadium Conference room.

The pre-tournament press conference is a traditional occasion where the President of CAF officially welcomes
journalists from all over the world to Africa’s foremost continental tournament.



On when VAR will be used the President said: “To be prudent, we decided to only use VAR after the quarterfinals”
The use of VAR has come under a lot of scrutinies especially following the CAF Champions League when Esperence players were declared winners after Wydad players walked off after a two-hour delay due to VAR not working.

It was not great for African football and CAF are looking to avoid such an embarrassment on a much bigger stage.
The tournament is set to kick off on Friday 21st June with hosts Egypt taking on Zimbabwe in Cairo.
