Referee appointments draw scrutiny
Teams competing in the Greek Cup have asked for VAR to be used in their matches. The request comes despite the technology remaining optional at this stage of the competition.
Officiating in recent fixtures has prompted the calls. One example cited involves referee Tzilos in the Volos-Olympiacos match.
Context of the requests
Clubs have expressed concern over decisions made by match officials. They argue that VAR could reduce errors even in early cup rounds.
