Share this article

In a significant move for regional football officiating, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President **Ibrahim Musa Gusau** announced that the NFF will acquire a specialized truck to transport Video Assistant Referee (VAR) equipment across the WAFU-B zone. The equipment, currently based in Abidjan, will be moved between member countries to facilitate hands-on VAR training for both male and female referees. Gusau, speaking at a women's football workshop in Abuja, emphasized that the lack of adequate VAR training has been a major hurdle for African referees and that this initiative will elevate officiating standards ahead of major continental tournaments.
