VAR has been tested numerous times and Serie A announced it will be introduced from the 2017-18 season.
It was also used to correct two decisions when Spain beat France in last month’s friendly and in the Club World Cup in Japan in December, among other trials.
Australia’s A-League was the first top-tier tournament to use VAR in competitive action earlier this month.
It’s also due to be used in the Confederations Cup this summer, usually seen as a practice run for the World Cup.
