  • Former Taifa Stars player Steven Nemes emphasized that players must adapt to the presence of FVS and maintain discipline, as misconduct can now be reviewed post-match.
  • Nemes praised the Tanzania Football Federation and the Tanzania Premier League Board for implementing FVS, stating it could help reduce disputes over refereeing decisions.
  • He cautioned that while FVS is beneficial, it should complement rather than replace the referee's judgment.
