Supporters of Stade Malherbe Caen will have to wait for the benefit of a video assistant referee (VAR). Either wait for the club to move up to Ligue 1, which has been using this system for six years now, or to definitively validate the Professional Football League (LFP) to use it in the second division. Although it seemed that everything was ready for the arrival of VAR in Ligue 2 stadiums, the opposite happened this Wednesday, 14 August 2024. The LFP “unanimously decided to implement VAR in Ligue 2 be postponed for the sake of cost control. »
A radical U-turn
However, everything seemed ready with the arrival of this help for the referees during Ligue 2 matches this season. In July 2024, L’Équipe revealed that the LFP confirmed to its service provider that this technology would be implemented in the second division from the 2024-2025 season. Work had been done on the stadiums even at the end of the season so that they would be up to standard and in working order at the start of the school year. Faced with a significant financial crisis, the League is forced to make savings and the arrival of VAR in Ligue 2 did not match this reality.
