Modernising refereeing in Ivory Coast: Ligue 1 adopts VOKKERO UNITY

The Cรดte dโ€™Ivoire Ligue 1 championship is entering a new era. In an unprecedented move towards modernisation, the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) has officially announced the acquisition of the VOKKERO UNITY solution to equip its officiating teams.

This technological transition marks a major turning point for sporting fairness and the professionalisation of elite football in West Africa.

In modern soccer, where every second counts, communication between the central referee, his assistants and the fourth official has become the cornerstone of decision-making. The choice of technology VOKKERO UNITY technology was no accident.

One of the major challenges for referees in the Ivorian Ligue 1 is the acoustic environment of the stadiums. The UNITY system incorporates a patented digital noise filter that eliminates whistles, chanting, and background noise to transmit only the voices of the officials.

Thanks to Full Duplex mode, referees can communicate in real time without having to press any buttons, ensuring total concentration on the play. This fluidity is essential for rapid decision-making, particularly during contentious phases of play.

Adapted to demanding climatic conditions, VOKKERO equipment is renowned for its robustness. With extended battery autonomy, it ensures perfect coverage for the entire duration of the event, including overtime.

After hosting the biggest international competitions, Cรดte dโ€™Ivoire continues to structure its sporting ecosystem. The integration of VOKKERO UNITY by the FIF meets three strategic objectives:

  • Better coordination limits misunderstandings between officials.

By equipping itself with the latest innovations from the VOKKERO range, the Ivorian Football Federation is sending a powerful signal: that of an institution investing in excellence. This transition into the digital era for refereeing promises more fluid matches and enhanced sporting justice, much to the delight of the fans.
