The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) president, Andrew Kamanga, has expressed his anticipation for this year's ABSA Cup final, scheduled to take place on Saturday. In his weekly column, Kamanga shared his optimism about the upcoming match between Forest Rangers and FC Muza, revealing an intriguing addition to the game - the implementation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. "We are thrilled about the prospects of the 2023 ABSA Cup, which promises to surpass any previous edition in terms of scale and excitement. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we had to adjust the original date," Kamanga explained. Despite the schedule change, fans who had already purchased tickets before the venue alteration can rest assured that their tickets remain valid for the rescheduled final. Kamanga emphasized the importance of a seamless transition and expressed confidence in delivering a remarkable spectacle on Saturday. "As the respective organizational teams gear up for the countdown, we anticipate a thrilling climax to the tournament. We do not doubt that the final will live up to its expectations," Kamanga assured. In a bid to enhance the quality of the game and ensure fair play, FAZ has decided to introduce VAR to the ABSA Cup final. "We are looking to give the final a test of some technological touch.” The addition of VAR in the ABSA Cup final reflects FAZ's commitment to embracing innovation and staying at the forefront of football development. By utilizing this advanced tool, match officials will have access to video replays, enabling them to make more accurate decisions in crucial moments of the game.
