Also this season, starting from the 5th day, on the platform DAZN the OPEN VAR format will be broadcast, an information space dedicated to the refereeing world. These are the contributions on the subject via the FIGC website:
“Thanks to a happy intuition of FIGC and DAZN, to the fundamental availability and usual professionalism of AIA, the OPEN VAR format has marked a watershed in the way of communicating in the refereeing world. With the primary objective of training as many enthusiasts as possible, it was also conceived as a precious tool of knowledge and transparency, helping to update the language of the storytelling of Italian football. OPEN VAR is one of the most revolutionary television formats of recent years, a contribution from FIGC and AIA for the development of the entire football movement”, states Gabriel Gravinapresident of the FIGC.
“We are happy, also in this sports season, to let people listen to the dialogues between the referee and the VAR Room. In this way we could explain the operational methods of work and the final decisions taken on the pitch. All this contributes on the one hand to getting to know the world of refereeing better and on the other to forming that sports culture that we believe is very important for all football fans”, he says Charles Pacificipresident of the Italian Referees Association.
