Morocco is making steady steps to become the "gateway" to FIFA to establish video assistive technology for referee (FAR) in Africa, by officially adopting it in the matches of the Moroccan Premier League and the King's Cup, in addition to seeking to establish a center to train Moroccan and African referees in this technique.

Last Tuesday, a technical expert sent by FIFA to attend a friendly test of the mouse, which is next to the Tangier stadium, is to be officially used by the FIFA Stadium in Marrakech next Tuesday in the King's Cup semi-finals, the first between Morocco's Tetouan and Hassania Agadir. The second is between the new Hassani defense and the Oval Union.

While the envoy and head of the technology division (FIFA) apologized to the German observer Sebastian Wolfkank Rong for not authorizing him to do so, Abdul Rahim wannabe official in charge of the Central Committee for the arbitration of the island, that the initial indicators were positive, which was also expressed by Moroccan international referee Adel Zourak Net, who was the task of ruling the mouse in the control room in the presence of FIFA envoy.

The head of the Central Committee of Arbitration Jamal Kaouachi is an advanced stage and accurate, pointing out that Morocco has submitted an official request to "FIFA" and the International Football Council in charge of laws, accompanied by an integrated project.

In the second phase, Moroccan federation officials in Zurich met their FIFA counterparts to discuss all aspects, before the latter supervised the formation of a number of referees, to lead full or 15-minute interviews.

The international government, Adel Zourak, revealed that this formation knew very difficult situations, and the Moroccan rulers were able to deal with it with the required expertise.

According to Moroccan expert Abderrahim Wannami, 23 referees, including women, are expected to be formed by the end of this year, which will enable Moroccan referees to lead matches through assistive technology each week, which will give them more opportunities to lead international matches.

Financial cost
Morocco has identified great financial technical possibilities for the success of this event, in the words of Jamal Kaouachi, who preferred not to mention any figure on the financial cost of the mouse during one season, highlighting that it is the prerogative of the Federation President Fawzi Lagja.

Kawashi has previously told a private radio that the cost of each match is about $ 5,000, which means that one season if the technology used all the league games will arrive in one season about one million and 240 thousand dollars, a huge amount when compared to the award of the champion who gets Only on about 310 thousand dollars.

Rather than equipping Morocco's stadiums with technology rooms at a huge extra cost, a Spanish company offers this service with four mobile vehicles equipped with the latest technology that will cover all league matches by moving between cities.

He revealed that each car can communicate with 24 cameras on the court, and that the selection of the mobile car the most appropriate solution to ensure the presence of the mouse every game.

Gate
By making a formal request, Morocco is the first African country to seek to embrace the mouse in order to keep pace with technological advances in the field of arbitration and to develop the game in the country.

Kaouachi said FIFA was very careful about the technology and was keen on its success in Morocco before being circulated to the rest of the continent.

The establishment of this technique is beneficial to Moroccan rulers who have received training that will enable them to take more opportunities to participate in international meetings.

The same spokesman pointed out that Morocco, in addition to the partnership agreements that it brings with African countries in the field of sports, equipment and arbitration, seeks to develop arbitration in the continent by hosting the training center for African international referees on this technique.
