Korea Football Association to minimize controversy over misjudgment, VARON launched a new content for commentary on referee judgment



The Korea Football Association will introduce a new video content 'VARON: Re-view of the decision (hereinafter VARON)' that provides accurate and objective commentary on major decision issues that occurred during the game.

VARON was designed to make it easier for fans to communicate the criteria and application cases of refereeing in the field, and to enhance the understanding of the team, the media, and fans. It is a communicative content to restore the credibility of the decision and minimize controversy over the misjudgment.

The content is composed mainly of judgment decisions on situations that have occurred in K League or competitions organized by football associations at all levels. Major controversial or controversial judgment scenes are reconstructed into images, and the criteria and reasons for the judgment are also guided. It is also expected to play a role in presenting guidelines for judgment cases that may differ depending on the individual judge's capabilities and standards.




VARON will also introduce video data, analysis of them, and opinions on the decision drawn through the Korea Football Association's referee panel meeting to match the level of officials and general fans. If necessary, the opinions of FIFA referee officials are also included.

Moon Jin-hee, chairman of the judging committee, said "This content planning is actually a very burdensome decision for the judges. However, I thought it was urgent to guide soccer officials and fans to the eyes of experts and to build a culture of mutual trust by improving their understanding"We will continue to operate judgment evaluation panel meetings more transparently and increase the accuracy of judgment through education." he said.

VARON is available on the Korea Football Association's SNS and YouTube KFATV_official channel.
