According to the internal policy of the Spanish Referees Committee, a referee who receives two warnings from VAR during a match will be punished.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to COPE radio, this decision is seen as a clear signal that the referee's ability to read the game on the field has weakened. The Referees Committee believes that repeated VAR intervention reveals that the referee is unable to properly assess episodes in real-time.
According to the rule, the performance of referees who are forced to change their decision twice due to VAR intervention in a match will be analyzed separately, and disciplinary measures will be applied to them depending on the outcome.
The Spanish media notes that this step aims to increase the responsibility of referees on the field and prevent dependence on VAR. Referees are required to make key decisions directly on the field with minimal reliance on technology.
