Serie A pressure on IFAB to promulgate 2 main changes in the VAR protocol

As the arguments continue on the limits of the VAR protocol, series A is pressing IFAB to introduce two main changes.

The parties of week 24 were dominated by the controversy about arbitration decisions, some that were simply limited by the strict rules about where and when Var can intervene to correct a clear and obvious error.

Above all, Milan saw Fikayo Tomori sent for a second yellow card when his opponent was clearly out of play, while Inter scored from a corner that had already gone 20 centimeters on the line and should not have been assigned.

These are Both situations in which the video assistant referee cannot intervene.

Series A wants more VAR interventions

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Serie A in particular is ready to press IFAB before its next meeting on March 1 in Zurich.

The impulse is that two main changes are introduced, allowing VAR to intervene in a case of a second yellow card If you were granted incorrectly and evaluate the corners.

However, even if these changes were made to the protocol, the IFAB could not promulgate them until the 2026-27 campaign.

The protocol was prepared in this way to limit where Var can intervene because otherwise the game would slow down too much.

While some leagues, such as the Premier League in England, are asking that Var gets less involved in the sport, the series A is pressing to take more direct measures in each error, even the minors.
