LaLiga president Javier Tebas has confirmed the video assistant referee (VAR) will be implemented in Spain’s top flight next season.
“There will be VAR in the league next season,” he announced on Tuesday.
Tebas had previously been against the system, saying it was too expensive.
Back in September, it was announced there would be tests in the Copa del Rey, with the system being used across LaLiga for the 2018/19 season if they were successful.
However, that decision has been made earlier than expected: VAR will be used in the upcoming rounds of the Copa del Rey and will definitely feature in LaLiga next season.
There has been controversy in the Bundesliga and Serie A this season, where a VAR is already being used.
