There will be no use of VAR technology in the Copa del Rey clash between Atletico Madrid and Elche on Wednesday November 29, the Spanish FA has confirmed.
There is still potential for the technology to be used in other matches at this stage of the competition, and for later rounds, but it will not be in use at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
The reason for this appears to be a lack of time, with implementation protocols and referee training yet to be completed, meaning the competition will have to wait to find out when the system will be used.
It could still be seen in Spain this season, but still only as a test, with the match referee under no obligation to use it.
