Impacto del VAR en el fútbol profesional colombiano

Abstract

The impact of VAR on Colombian professional football has been widely studied, showing that it reduces errors in key decisions and improves the fairness of the game. However, it also creates disruptions that affect the flow of the match and the spectator experience, with divided opinions regarding its effectiveness and transparency. In Colombia, its implementation has faced challenges related to subjectivity, communication, and uniformity in the system's application, which can increase mistrust and reduce the credibility of refereeing if not properly addressed. Although VAR has largely fulfilled its purpose of improving decisions, its influence on the intensity and perception of the game remains a matter of debate.
