In a written statement issued by the TFF, it was stated: "Following the FIFA Badge Ceremony held at the TFF Riva Hasan Doğan National Teams Camp and Training Facilities on Tuesday, February 10, with the participation of our Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. Osman Aşkın Bak, a visit was made to the VAR Center, which operates under the Central Referee Board, as part of the program schedule.
The visit in question was conducted for the purpose of introducing the technological infrastructure used in referee training processes, providing information regarding the general operation of the system, and conveying the educational aspects of the VAR application.
This visit does not constitute an inspection, evaluation, or intervention regarding any ongoing or past match, referee decision, or specific encounter.
The Turkish Football Federation's primary priority in all matches is transparency, impartiality, and ensuring that football is managed fairly within the framework of the rules of the game. The VAR system is a technical support mechanism that serves this purpose and is implemented in accordance with international standards.
Evaluations attempting to create a narrative outside the purpose of the visit do not reflect the truth, and we particularly emphasize the technical and training-oriented nature of the process."
