The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) and Thai League Co., Ltd., led by Madam Pang (Nualphan Lamsam), President of the FAT and CEO of Thai League Co., Ltd., have announced plans to implement VAR Light technology during the second leg of the Thai League 2 2024/25 season.
The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Light system has already been installed in the Video Operations Room (VOR) and will undergo testing during Matchday 18 in two fixtures:
- Trat FC vs. Samut Prakan City at Trat Provincial Stadium on Saturday, January 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM.
- Chonburi FC vs. Pluakdaeng FC at Chonburi Daikin Stadium on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 6:30 PM.
Thai League Co., Ltd. will subsequently test the VAR Light system at the home stadiums of all 18 Thai League 2 clubs, ensuring each venue experiences at least one trial match. Full implementation across all matchdays is expected by early March 2025.
The adoption of VAR Light reflects the FAT's commitment to enhancing match officiating and maintaining fairness in Thai football.
