The South African Football Association plans to test Video Assistant Referee technology during the Nedbank Cup semifinals. Daniel Bennett, the project leader, confirmed the trials as a preparatory step for a full implementation the following season.
Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie endorsed the initiative, which aims to address persistent officiating controversies. A delegation will travel to Spain for specialized training to facilitate the technology's integration. This move is widely seen as an effort to align the country's premier football competitions with international standards.
