Two Série A matches in round 11 to use public announcement technology | OneFootball

New for Brazilian Championship matches starting this weekend: Public Announcement technology, in which the referee communicates to fans in the stadium and on broadcasts the decisions made on the field. The communication also applies to checks and reviews of plays.

The technology will be rolled out gradually, initially in two matches per round. This weekend, the matches that will use the system will be Fluminense vs. Flamengo, at the Maracanã, and Corinthians vs. Palmeiras, at Neo Química Arena.

“We are in a period of testing operations and implementations, and this will be gradual until we reach all ten matches in the round. The main benefit is public clarification. This is the moment when the referee can communicate clearly with everyone involved in the game, informing them of what happened and the final decision according to what occurred,” said CBF Refereeing Committee president Rodrigo Cintra.

Another new feature starting this round will be the release and monitoring of video assistant referee (VAR) images.

Following international standards, the final result of the check will be made available to the public in the stadium and on broadcasts. The process of positioning the lines will be handled internally.

The Refereeing Director of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Netto Góes, celebrated the technological advances in Brazilian refereeing.

“Once again, the CBF is aligning itself with international guidelines and protocols, seeking greater flow and transparency in all aspects involving refereeing. This is an important step forward in bringing the public closer to the decisions and strengthening confidence in the process,” Netto Góes emphasized.
