Football Association of Thailand organizes intensive training for VAR referees, 2nd generation, with the goal of developing and increasing options.

The Referee Development Division of the Football Association of Thailand under Royal Patronage organized a review activity for VAR referees, 2nd generation, with the aim of developing and increasing the options for referees to perform VAR duties for domestic football league competitions during the second leg of the 2024/25 season at the VOR Laboratory, FA Thailand Building, on 22-23 November

This event was led by Mr. Chaiwat Kansutha, Director of Referee Development, along with 62 referees. This round of activities allowed referees and assistant referees to be divided into groups to try out real offline duties both on the field and in the VOR room, including testing the actual VAR system. In addition, there was a review of the guidelines for VAR referees, Generation 2, an understanding of VAR principles, and discussions with VAR referees, Generation 1, to improve and develop their performance in the competition.

In addition, there is an exchange of refereeing experiences with colleagues to learn and develop their own weaknesses.

After this, the referee development department will collect video matches of each person’s officiating to FIFA and will re-evaluate the officiating results for at least 45 days to grant the license. There are 3 types of licenses:

  1. Referee VAR License (This is a license that allows the referee to use VAR when officiating on the field of play)
  2. VAR License (This is a license that allows the referee to officiate in the VAR room)
  3. AVAR License (This is a license for assistant referees who officiate in the VAR room)

For referees who have received a VAR license and can immediately perform their duties in real competitions, the Football Association also aims to increase the สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ number and quality to be in line with the Thai League football competition.
