VAR system will be tested for the first time in the Belarusian Football Championship at the match between Dynamo Minsk and Brest

On September 13, a match between Dynamo Minsk and Brest will be held at the National Football Stadium. It will be used for the first time the system of video assistance to arbitrators (VAR), writes sb.by.

Initially, the VAR system is planned to be used for one or two of the most important matches of the tour: not all stadiums in which major league teams play are ready for its use. When asked by journalists about when it can be extended to all matches of the tour, Andrei Vasilevich said:

- This issue does not only affect our activities. The question is when all our stadiums will be ready to use this system. I will also ask you not to discount the start of the championship, which takes place on artificial fields. There aren't high enough points to put cameras up for broadcasts. So, in terms of the future, let’s hope for next season. But perhaps 2028 is more realistic for everyone to prepare. We see that the major league players are gradually changing. Conditional “Niva”, which is now leading in the first league, will also need to prepare. Therefore, as soon as the stadiums are ready, we will train the necessary number of judges. With two VAR vans, theoretically, spreading the tour matches over four days, we can close. But again, we are dependent on several factors, including the participation of our clubs in European competitions. Once rescheduled matches appear, four minibuses are needed.
