Super League: VAR and Semi-Automated Offside in All Matches (2025-26)

The Super League is collaborating with Hawk-Eye Innovations, a Sony Group company, to provide VAR and SAOT technologies.

Paolo Valeri, Vice President of KED & Head of VAR, emphasized that the goal is to reduce erroneous VAR interventions and eliminate human error in offside decisions.
