After the scandal involving the São Paulo 2×3 Palmeiras match, the defeated team requested the VAR audio for the clear penalty incident that was not awarded. However, according to protocol, the dialogue is only released if there is a review of the play, which was not the case. Nevertheless, the CBF received authorization from FIFA that changes the scenario.
The highest authority of national football announced, this Wednesday (08), “a remarkable step forward in refereeing transparency.” The CBF explained that it consulted FIFA and already has the green light to release the audios of all incidents, even those without review.
“This measure positions the CBF as a global pioneer in the broad release of video assistant referee content. The organization was already the only national federation to publish the audios of all incidents with formal review on the monitor. With this new permission, the CBF will now also include relevant incidents without review in the booth, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and trust in Brazilian football,” the CBF stated.
After Sunday's match (05), São Paulo requested the VAR audios from the Palmeiras game. However, the conversations could not be shared, according to the previous protocol. Now, after FIFA's authorization to the CBF, the scenario has changed.
Therefore, there is anticipation for the release of Ramon Abatti Abel's audios. After all, the referee failed to award a clear penalty to São Paulo against Palmeiras. In addition, he did not send off Andreas Pereira or Gustavo Gómez, who made harsh tackles on their opponents.
