UEFA to Host High-Stakes VAR Summit as Controversies Ignite Fierce Debate
The Bundesliga and La Liga follow at 0.38 interventions per game, with Serie A at 0.44 and Ligue 1 at 0.47. In the Champions League, the rate sits at 0.45 per game.
Rosetti’s ambition extends beyond simply reducing the number of interventions. He wants all leagues to speak “only one technical language”, with particular concern over the inconsistent application of handball laws, which have been a source of widespread frustration among players, managers and supporters alike.
It is hoped the summer meeting could produce a more universal approach to how VAR is applied, bringing the leagues closer in line with one another and, crucially, closer to the principle of only overturning decisions where there is clear and obvious error.
