Bengaluru FC to write to AIFF to implement use of âVARâ technology in next yearâs ISL
Bengaluru FC owner Parth Jindal declared that he is going to write to the All India Football Federation to begin the use of video Assistant Referees (VAR) in the next Indian Super League season. This comes after the refereeing in this yearâs ISL was surrounded by "erroneous" calls by officials.
The owner of Bengaluru FC and JSW steel company, Parth Jindal, has voiced his concern over the refereeing woes that the ISL endured this season. The ISL and as a matter of fact, the I-League this year, had a lot of wrong decisions that affected the outcome of various games in the past season. As a consequence, the AIFF had asked the director of referees, Gautam Kar, to step down after the end of the ISL due to the issues regarding the decisions on the pitch.
To which Kar replied, with the cliche, âReferees all over the world make mistakes. They are humans after all. That being said, the quality is fast improving.â
Now, Jindal has revealed that he will pen down a letter to the AIFF body in a bid to convince them to implement the use of video Assistant Referees (VAR) in the next Indian Super League season.Â
