J1 Video judgment introduction from next season Plan ahead 11:09 on September 11
The soccer J-League decided to introduce the video judgment by the referee called VAR = Video Assistant Referee ahead of schedule from the next season and introduce it in J1 as the misjudgment and confusion about the goal judgment continued.
In the J-League, J1's Urawa Reds and Shonan Bellmare played in May, and there are a lot of misjudgments and confusion over the goal judgment, such as a shot that breaks the goal line is not recognized.
Under these circumstances, for VAR, which was preparing for introduction from the season two years later, J1 decided to put the plan ahead one year and to introduce it from the next season.
According to the officials, it was expected that the system could be organized from next season by increasing the frequency of training and shortening the schedule for the training of referees who could deal with VAR, which was a major issue.
VAR is adopted in the Russian Cup in the World Cup and in major European leagues such as England Premier League and German League, and the International Football Council has improved the accuracy of judgment by about 5.8% to 98.8%. I highly appreciate it.
In the J-League, the executive committee where the representatives of each club scheduled for the 11th will gather will report that the policy to be introduced in J1 from the next season has been solidified, and each team will be asked to understand the cost burden etc. To
