The president of Referees’ Technical Committee, Victoriano Sanchez Arminio, has informed the officials that the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will be made official for the upcoming season.
In a meeting with the First and Second Division referees earlier this week, Sanchez Arminio set out how it would work in LaLiga games.
“VAR will help to solve the doubt of whether a goal is legitimate or not,” he said.
“[It will also determine] whether it has been out of play or if a play has been inside the area or outside.
“Your [referees] assessment and judgment will continue to prevail.”
He also highlighted that the new technology won’t be used constantly and that it still needs to pass the final tests during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
