"WE WILL BASE IT ON IMPORTANT MATCHES AT FIRST"

Mecnun Otyakmaz, the Vice President of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), stated in an interview with NTV, "Although we have trusted Turkish referees, due to recent speculations and to motivate them a bit, despite being against foreign referees, we have opened our doors to a foreign VAR referee to address the requests coming from below and to prevent some polemics. Our work is ongoing, and I believe we will likely switch to a foreign VAR referee this week. We will assess according to the need. At first, we will base it on strategically important matches.
