Serie B ‘ready for VAR’

Serie B is “ready to introduce VAR” from this season’s promotion play-offs and relegation play-outs, claims President Mauro Balata.

The technology has already been used in Serie A since last season and there are advanced plans to get it working in Serie B from as early as the play-offs in May and June.

“Serie B is ready to introduce VAR, the studies have confirmed it, with stadiums, technology and standards of television cameras all suited to it,” said Lega B President Balata.

“VAR is something everyone feels the need for, especially when considering what happened last season in the play-offs.”

Frosinone earned promotion by beating Palermo in extremely controversial circumstances.

There would also be goal-line technology used during these play-offs.
