I am fully aware of the responsibility and how much this tournament means to UEFA. Tomorrow we will start doing all we can to meet the high expectations you have of us."
VAR
The UEFA Executive Committee met this morning at the House of European
Football in Nyon and decided to introduce Video Assistant Referees (VAR)
in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League, as of the play-off stage of the
competition (August 2019).
In addition, it was decided that VAR would also be used at the 2019 UEFA Super Cup. UEFA plans to subsequently extend the use of VAR at the final tournament of UEFA EURO 2020, in the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League (group-stage onwards), and in the 2021 UEFA Nations League Finals.
"We're confident that introducing VAR in August 2019 will give us enough
time to put in place a robust system & to train match officials to
ensure an efficient, successful implementation of VAR in #UCL, the world’s flagship club competition." - UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.
However, it was also decided during the UEFAexCo meeting that the draw procedure for the European Qualifiers 2020, which will take place at the Convention Centre in Dublin on 2 December 2018 at 11.00 local time, was approved. The ten groups of five or six teams will decide 20 finalists, with the remaining four contenders emerging from the European Qualifiers play-offs, for which teams will qualify via the UEFA Nations League.
The draw procedure for the first four-team UEFA Nations League Finals 2019, to take place on 3 December 2018 in Dublin, was also approved.
