MADRID: Spanish football officials want trials with video referees similar to those taking place in other countries to start as early as next season, La Liga confirmed on Saturday.
La Liga has requested that the Spanish football federation (RFEF) contacts the International Football Association Board, which controls the laws of the game, to organise the use of technology on a trial basis.
The trial would be used in Copa del Rey matches and the Spanish Super Cup.
“On August 12, La Liga sent a letter to the Referees´ Technical Committee of the RFEF inviting them to start the experimentation with the video referee´s assistant,” a La Liga statement read.
Video technology is currently being trialled in the USA with federations in Australia, Germany, Brazil, the Netherlands and Portugal set to follow suit.
