2026 ushers in new era for Albanian football with permanent VAR center at the “House of Football”

Starting from the 2025/2026 football season, the VAR system in Albanian football will operate from a permanent dedicated center built at the “House of Football.” The Football Federation has taken this important step to modernize and raise the standard of Albanian refereeing, aligning it with the best European practices.

This center will monitor five matches simultaneously from the “Abissnet Superiore” championship, thereby eliminating the need for mobile VAR units that have been used until now. There will be 5 VAR rooms equipped with the latest technology, where referees will have the opportunity to review and analyze contentious moments.

In addition to “Abissnet Superiore” matches, this center will also serve selected games from the First Division and other leagues depending on the challenges.

Through this significant investment in Albanian football, the FSHF demonstrates that it is following the lead of the most developed European federations such as those in England, Spain, and Italy, which have long adopted centralized VAR system centers.
