2026 WCQ: Finidi laments absence of VAR in Super Eagles’ draw with Bafana
By People’s Voice Nigeria | News
Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George was not happy the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was not available during his side’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against South Africa in Uyo on Friday.
The Super Eagles held Bafana Bafana to a 1-1 draw in the keenly contested encounter.
The Super Eagles were denied a clear penalty when goal hero, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru was hacked down inside the box in the 53rd minute.
“I’m sure we all saw the AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire where the VAR was properly used”, Finidi said during his interaction with the media after the game.
