Head of referees from Italian Football League A and League B announced today that a major change will be introduced in the new season of Serie A and League B: the referee will directly explain to the live and TV audience the final penalty decision made after VAR intervenes.
Rocky Carrera officially announced the new move during the pre-season training camp held in Kasha. He said: "This will be a major change next season, on-site announcements. The referee will be able to explain the decisions made after VAR intervention to the live and TV audience directly on the court. "
"This is an important step in communication, and we have been committed to transparent communication for many years," added Rocky Carrera. "But now, the explanation will be real-time and for everyone." He further explained: "We will be fully prepared for this, especially in communication. We have a selected team and we want to unify the expression and content so that it can be clearly communicated to the public."
Regarding the length of the live announcement, Rocky Carrera made it clear: "There is no fixed maximum time limit, because each referee has his own style, language and reaction time." He emphasized: "We still need to work hard to unify the content of the explanation, but we will not set rigid rules and regulations, and the quality of communication is the most important."
