Technology in the field, part of Italy in September – The Republic

Rome – Slow motion, it start: After the green light IFAB, March 5, here from September Italy will begin testing new technology, the great turning point of the world of football. The FIGC fact has been selected, along with other Federations, to test the VAR system (Video Assistant Referees). In the meeting on Friday, April 8, convened in London a competent international body for changing the rules of the game in order to explain the project and to get confirmations in the trial by the national associations, the Football Association has reiterated once again its interest. In this regard, the president Carlo Tavecchio has held an information meeting with the League of Serie A, the B League and AIA on April 21 in order to transfer all the technical and operational requirements necessary for the commencement of the trial since the next season. The aim is to arrive at the next meeting, scheduled in the month of May, with the formalization of the commitment according to experience the only protocol drawn up by the International FA together with FIFA.

The project presented to the Federations in two stages, the first ‘offline in the 2016/2017 season and the second’ live ‘probably during the 2017/2018 season. For comparison, the results of replays will not affect the game but the test (which will be kept secret) will be used to see if the technology can really make his entrance officially in football of the season in 2020, on the occasion of European travel (even Rome will an important step). “We were among the first supporters of the use of technology in the field – says Tavecchio – and we believe we have all the requirements to offer our contribution to this important trial. In compliance with the fluidity of the game and the referee’s centrality, even in football innovation will improve the whole system, as it has already demonstrated the positive adoption of the Goal line technology. “

From decide if the slow motion will be tested, from the start of next season, the Italian Cup or the league series B: Andrea Abodi also said he was available, an important opinion will also be to Marcello Nicchi, president of the referees.

Moreover the replay is viewed by the members of the Var (another arbitrator) that alert the referee via a headset show what images and the referee finally decided to review the replays on the sidelines before making a decision. It will take a lot of cameras in the stadiums and the costs of the new system are still to be quantified. Clear that the matches last longer. Because it is uncertain. Hill recalled that must be protected the fluidity of the game but longer races are to the benefit of the (pay) TV. We understand each other, right? “As for the use of technology in the field will try to find a just, is not an easy thing but at the same time is important,” said FIFA president Gianni Infantino, interviewed by “Fox Sports Use.” “The first 45 days of the presidency have been very exciting, very nice course. I met so many people who want to participate, do something for football. A lot of people love football in the world.
