Due to the fact that the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF) and the company MediaPro have not yet reached an agreement regarding the costs for the training of referees and the implementation of video refereeing (VAR) in national soccer, it was decided to postpone the extraordinary congress of the FBF that was to be held today in La Paz.
"It has been determined to suspend the extraordinary congress that we had called since we did not reach an agreement with the company MediaPro, which is the one that will provide us with the technological service of VAR.
We are going to take a few days to conclude negotiations and have a consensus on the content of the contract," explained Fernando Costa, president of the FBF.
Costa said yesterday that what remains to be agreed with MediaPro is the issue of costs.
"What is being sought is a better cost for the VAR technological service. Once we have, God willing, a favorable response to sign, then we will reconvene congress," Costa added.
With this postponement, the beginning of the whole process for the implementation of the VAR, which was to start this year from the first championship, as Costa promised in the 2021 management, is also delayed.
On the subject, Costa assured that the VAR will be implemented for the second semester tournament.
"We are independently initiating a training of our technicians, we are working with the person in charge to take charge of the courses. What is holding us back at the moment is that we want to negotiate a better cost in terms of technological support," added the federation head.
