La Liga confirms Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will be used from next seasonSerie A has been using VAR this seasonLa Liga has officially ratified the implementation of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) from the start of next season. The move had been expected, after comments from La Liga president Javier Tebas towards the end of 2017, but they confirmed that training had begun for first division referees on Friday. The Spanish Football Federation and La Liga will base their Video Operations Centre just outside Madrid in Las Rozas, a building project which had previously begun. Friday saw the beginning of offline training for referees and assistants, and that will include practice through simulators and video training via offline matches. VAR is also being widely-used in Germany's Bundesliga, Major League Soccer in the United States and Italy's Serie A.
