Serie A On The Verge Of Major VAR Update – Footage To Be Displayed At The Stadium | OneFootball

Marred by controversy since its introduction in Serie A, VAR will undergo profound changes toward the end of the 2024/25 season.

According to FCInter1908, Lega Calcio will integrate the VARDict signal into stadium big screens starting from Matchday 30.

Indeed, it should ensure fans in attendance stay informed about ongoing VAR reviews or extended checks.

However, that’s only the beginning of further changes amid mass protests against the ongoing tech revolution in Italian football.

Serie A will test the broadcast of the referee’s audio signal inside stadiums and on television.

Yet, it will only apply to the 2024/2025 Coppa Italia semi-finals and the showpiece event.

This feature, introduced after IFAB’s recent decision, will apply only to explanations of decisions made after an on-field review.

Meanwhile, Serie A’s partner, Hawk-Eye, has developed a new technological solution to make this possible.

Indeed, this tech update should enhance the current referee communication system.

Therefore, TV viewers and stadium audiences will hear the referee explain the decision in real time.
