Referees mic'd up in Ligue 1 trial this weekend

Revolution.


The Professional Football League officially announced this Thursday, April 2, the introduction of an unprecedented experimental system aimed at testing the real-time live audio broadcast of certain exchanges between the central referee for the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse and his VAR assistants!

The match, scheduled for this Friday evening, will therefore be the first in France to see "its central referee equipped with a microphone whose activation will be remotely controlled by the video assistant referee from the supervision center," the LFP explains.

This protocol will make it possible to broadcast some of the referee’s comments live, simultaneously: to spectators in the stadium and to Ligue 1+ viewers, via transmission to the stadium control room and the outside broadcast production truck.
