DOHA: The Qatar Football Association (QFA) is planning to use
vanishing spray in the 2014/2015 season, becoming the first Arab and
Asian football association to use the popular innovation on a sport
field.

QFA is currently providing the necessary training to referees, in
their training camp in Belgium.

The latest step is part of the association's attempt to stay with the
latest trends in football refereeing.

Vanishing spray was a big hit during the World Cup 2014 and both UEFA
and the English Premier League decided to adopt the new tool in their
competitions.

The idea of the vanishing spray is that the referee can now mark where
a set-piece should be taken and were the wall must be positioned
without giving the players any chance of moving away from their
assigned positions.
