The Bundesliga will be the first major European league to trial a method where referees announce VAR decisions to fans via loudspeakers. Starting this weekend, nine clubs, including Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, will participate in this pilot project across five matches. This initiative aims to improve transparency in officiating, following a similar public announcement used during the Carabao Cup semifinals. Fortuna Dusseldorf’s match against SSV Ulm will be the first to feature this innovative procedure, setting a precedent for other leagues to potentially follow.
