# UEFA launches Clear Line platform to curb VAR overuse from 2026 2026-08-13T03:31:01+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet UEFA has launched a public platform called Clear Line containing around 150 video examples from real matches, each with an explanation of the principles used by referees and VARs. The move, announced ahead of a broader overhaul from the 2026-27 season, aims to limit VAR intervention to unmistakable errors rather than subjective decisions. Roberto Rosetti, UEFA’s refereeing chief, told BBC Sport that growing frustration with the technology prompted the project. “It’s football, not PlayStation,” he said, warning that reviews extending beyond 90 seconds risk losing credibility. Referees will now be shown freeze-frames, half-speed and normal-speed replays at pitchside monitors to judge context rather than isolated stills. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Champions League, Clear Line, football, refereeing, UEFA, VAR Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/uefa-launches-clear-line-platform-to-curb-var-overuse-from-2026/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
