"I believe that we forgot the reason why VAR was introduced. In objective decisions, it is fantastic. For interpretations, subjective evaluation is more difficult. That's why we started to speak about clear and obvious mistakes - clear evidence."
"The summit of referee chiefs from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 will discuss how to reset VAR to its intended interpretation of only intervening in the clearest of errors."
"Rosetti also wants all leagues to speak 'only one technical language' after controversy over the inconsistent application of laws such as handball. It is hoped the meeting could lead to a more universal approach to the laws and with how VAR is used."
UEFA's head of referees, Roberto Rosetti, has called a summer meeting with referee chiefs from the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 to address VAR implementation across European football. Rosetti emphasized that VAR has strayed from its original purpose of identifying only clear and obvious mistakes, particularly in objective decisions. The leagues currently operate VAR at vastly different intervention rates, ranging from 0.275 per game in the Premier League to 0.47 in Ligue 1. UEFA aims to establish consistent technical language and universal thresholds for VAR application, particularly regarding subjective interpretations like handball decisions, to reduce controversy and create a more standardized approach across all competitions.
