Tests will be carried out for the remainder of the season. All referees will be instructed on how to use the technology.

No more conspiracy theories in La Liga starting next year!

La Liga's referee committee, via their president Victoriano Sánchez, has revealed that VAR technology will be used in La Liga games with the start of the 2018-19 season. La Liga's president Javier Tebas admitted that the Spanish top flight was elected to run tests this season, but technical difficulties delayed its use.

Trials to use the technology will begin this season in randomly selected games. Only top flight matches will have the benefit of this technology, as the Spanish Segunda División will not be involved in neither the trials nor the full programme.
