Conmebol to introduce live VAR audio in the Libertadores from tonight | OneFootball

For the first time, this innovative tool will be implemented from the Quarterfinals of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.

The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) takes a new historic step in its commitment to transparency and the development of South American refereeing.

Having been successfully used in the Final of the CONMEBOL Recopa 2024 at the Maracaná stadium, the Referee’s Announcement of VAR Decisions tool (live announcement of VAR decisions) will be implemented for the first time from the Quarterfinals of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the CONMEBOL Sudamericana.

With this innovation, the main referee will explain live, both to the public in the stadium and to the millions of fans who follow the broadcasts, the decision made after a VAR review. A measure that seeks to bring the game closer to the people, strengthen clarity and convey confidence in each determination.

Approved by the IFAB and FIFA, this procedure represents a new milestone for the continent's refereeing and reflects the spirit of modernization that guides CONMEBOL in all its tournaments.

The Quarterfinals of the CONMEBOL Libertadores and the CONMEBOL Sudamericana will be held between September 17 and 26, 2025, being the perfect stage for this tool to begin to be applied continuously, in the most important club tournaments on the continent.
