Legendary Nigerian footballer Austin Okocha reignited the debate surrounding Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) with a playful gesture during a recent match.
Watching the clash between Sporting Lagos and Abia Warriors at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Okocha, a former Super Eagles captain, jokingly called for VAR intervention on a 70th-minute foul against a Sporting Lagos defender.
This lighthearted moment occurred with the score precariously balanced at 3-2 in favor of the home team.
