DAZN CEO Stefano Azzi: Eliminating Open VAR Would Worsen Football Transparency
Stefano Azzi, CEO of DAZN Italia, has expressed his concerns to Corriere dello Sport regarding the potential discontinuation of Open VAR for the upcoming season, a decision that rests with the FIGC. Azzi firmly believes that eliminating Open VAR "would worsen the situation." He highlighted that the project was initially conceived to educate audiences on football regulations and to provide transparency on how refereeing decisions are made, underscoring the fundamental role of dialogue and clarity.
This sentiment is echoed by DAZN's customers, with approximately 90% indicating a desire to see and hear VAR audio and video, accompanied by referee explanations. Azzi concluded by stating that there is "nothing healthier than discussing, with serenity, even an error when it occurs."
