> Let's Forward this Post Everywhere ❕ *“Fix the Stadiums First!”: Zimbabweans Mock ZIFA for Eyeing VAR Despite Local Football Struggles* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaDkMuTFCCoNC13vvo2V _*©Eragon Online News*_ *_(Follow this channel to read more...)_* *Group Link:* https://chat.whatsapp.com/CDyzvhE1ey5H89lorhyIvn Zimbabweans have taken to social media to mock the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) following reports that it has approached FIFA for help in introducing Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology to the local Premier Soccer League. According to Soccer24, ZIFA is seeking technical and financial support from FIFA to implement VAR in the domestic league. Zimbabweans have erupted with laughter after reports emerged that ZIFA wants to introduce VAR technology to the local Premier Soccer League. The move has been widely mocked online, with many calling it ‘laughable’ given the dire state of football infrastructure in the country Critics pointed out that many local matches aren’t even properly broadcast due to a lack of basic camera equipment and electricity—raising serious questions about how VAR, which requires multiple high-quality camera angles and technical precision, would be implemented. Some football supporters found it laughable that ZIFA is prioritising VAR instead of focusing on upgrading and fixing stadiums. *Here are some of the reactions;* @Farie C Mutanha; 🤣very laughable.. you can’t even have proper broadcast cameras for 1 match yet you want VAR for 9 matches per matchday @Mricho Cool Cat BW; Build proper stadiums first @Nqobizitha M Nkadlana; Idakiwe iZIFA leyo.
