An agreement has been reached between the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and broadcaster DAZN.

Earlier today, FIGC and DAZN have agreed to further expand the broadcasting experience for viewers of Serie A.

From now on, DAZN will be allowed to broadcast the referee audio during VAR checks – the broadcast will allow viewers to experience the exchange between the match official and the VAR room.

This step is meant to facilitate the understanding of decisions taken by the referee.
