As of January, Images and audio of conversations between the on-field referee and the VAR referee when a review occurs will be public, through the official competition operators and once each competition day of the day has ended. This has been agreed by the RFEF and LaLiga, in an initiative that will debut in the Spanish Super Cup, both in the semifinals on January 10 and 11 and in the final on Sunday the 14th.
Once launched in the Super Cup, this project will also be carried out in the First and Second Division, starting on matchday 20 and 22 respectively. The objective of this measure is “provide refereeing in professional football and the competitions themselves with greater transparency”, as explained in a joint statement by the Spanish federation and LaLiga. “This initiative marks a new scenario of collaboration and joint work between the RFEF and the Technical Committee of Referees,” they add.
Images and audio produced during VAR reviews They will not be broadcast live while they occur, but once each day of competition has ended (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). In the coming days, both the RFEF and LaLiga will publish more information about how this dynamic works. According to league sources, Only conversations that occur when the main referee goes to the monitor will be public to review an action. Therefore, other conversations that occur during the meeting will not be shown. Once the match ends, the RFEF will send LaLiga the raw audio and image from the start of the review until the end of the check, and the operators with rights will be the ones to broadcast it.
