Brazilian football refereeing and VAR modernization

Overview

Regional football federations in Brazil are expanding the use and professionalization of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology and officiating training.

The Paraense Football Federation (FPF) implemented VAR for the first time in the Série A3 of the Campeonato Paraense, utilizing a technical setup of five high-definition cameras and specialized staff to improve officiating precision.

In Mato Grosso, the Mato Grosso Football Federation (FMF) is investing in referee qualification to support its competition calendar, including the establishment of the Mato Grosso School of Football Refereeing (EMTAF) and plans to certify 18 VAR professionals. Additionally, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) promoted referee Flávio Gomes Barroca to the Avar Master category, the highest classification for video officiating within the organization.
