Football: Video referees for French football next season

The video assistant referee, commonly known as VAR, has been used since the start of this season in Serie A and the Bundesliga.

French football's top division Ligue 1 is set for video assistant referees next season after several club chiefs revealed that they had agreed in principle to adopt the technology. 

"Video technology will be in Ligue 1 next season," said the president of Giungamp Bertrand Desplat after Thursday's general meeting of the French football league (LFP).
