Serie A, the VAR will make its debut next season: no more goal line referees

Starting from next season, Serie A will institute the use of the VAR. This was the decision taken by the Lega Calcio during their meeting today. This means that they will abolish the use of the goal line referees and replace them with the VAR. FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio spoke about this decision: "FIFA has not communicated their decision yet, but we sent a strong signal that we start from next season. We have asked the club to be understanding because in every stadium, we need a room and eight television cameras. The Lega will cover the costs of around 2 million euros. Crotone will play their first two games at home to allow Cagliari to play their first two games away so they can finish their stadium."
