Italy proposes new technology for football officiating
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has officially requested permission from major football governing bodies to test a new form of technological support for officiating, termed "Football Video Support" (FVS). This initiative aims to enhance the existing Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system.
Italy seeks to position itself as a pioneer in the technological evolution of officiating, proposing to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to trial this new technology in the Serie C and Serie A women's leagues. Should the results prove favorable, there is potential for expansion to Serie D, as reported by local media.
The Football Video Support system can be requested by referees or coaches and involves reviewing specific game situations using replays when television coverage is available. According to the FIGC, this new system is designed to complement rather than replace VAR, offering a lighter and more cost-effective solution while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
If the trials yield positive outcomes, FVS could eventually serve as an additional tool alongside VAR in major international competitions. The overarching goal is to enhance fairness and accuracy in officiating decisions without imposing significant costs on less affluent leagues.
