BERLIN: The German league is set to introduce video assistant referees for the start of the 2017/18 season, according to Helmut Krug, manager for the German Football League (DFL) referees.
“If everything works like it should, we’ll go ‘online’ for the start of the 2017/18 season,” said Krug, a former FIFA referee, was quoted as saying by SID, an AFP subsidiary.
“There will be a link established between the referee and a video assistant.
“The video assistant will have the possibility of influencing the decisions of the referee.”
The assistant video referee will help officials during difficult decisions such as penalties, free-kicks and offside rulings.
