CBF prevents Brasileirão Série A games without semi-automatic offside

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) decided that Series A of the Brazilian Championship will not have games in stadiums that do not have semi-automatic offside technology. The measure forces clubs to choose arenas already equipped with the system if they need to play outside their usual fields, as determined by ge.globo.

The new rule directly impacts clubs like Palmeiras, which frequently use Arena Barueri, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, when they cannot play matches at Allianz Parque. The Alviverde club paid for the installation of the system at the Barueri stadium to adapt.

Currently, 19 Brazilian stadiums already have the innovative technology. MorumBIS and Mineirão were the most recent to receive the equipment, reinforcing support for modernization in national football.

Preparation for operation
The installation of the technology is in its final phase. The CBF and the company Genius Sports, responsible for the system, are organizing meetings to train VAR instructors. The objective is to ensure that the operation of the semi-automatic deterrent is carried out in an efficient and standardized manner.

Despite progress in implementation and training, the highest governing body of Brazilian football has not yet announced a deadline for the official start of the technology's operation in Brazilian Championship games.
