“…The VAR system is one in a series of recent additions of officiating aids in sport whose implementation has been widely studied. Previous studies have described the introduction and use of these aids in several sports (Benitez et al, 2020). They have documented how decision-aid technologies (including VAR) affect tactics and structures in the game (Carlos et al, 2019; McLoughlin & Dawson, 2017), as well as key actors’ performances and behavior, including that of the players (McLoughlin & Dawson, 2017; Leveaux, 2010), fans (Stoney & Fletcher, 2020; Winard & Fergusson, 2016), referees, and umpires (Dawson et al, 2020; Neville et al, 2017; Spitz et al, 2020)—not to mention the psychological impact of these technologies on referees (Baldwin, 2014; De la Vega & Fuentes, 2020; Samuel et al, 2020).…”

Using the Danish Superliga as a case, this article explores how football’s implementation of a video assistant referee (VAR) instigates complex processes of change which imply not only a further decrease in football’s institutional autonomy, but also intensifies inequality. It is argued that the implementation has to be seen from the perspective of professional football’s historical relationship with broadcast television; however, implementation of VAR represents a qualitative shift in the digital age, in which football’s dependence on media reaches a new functional level. André Jansson’s critical conceptualization of mediatization as transactional, ritual, and functional dependence is used as a framework for exploring how values, roles, and practices are under transformation among players, coach/managers, and referees. The analysis illustrates how the small-nation context, existing national and international hegemonic structures, and inequalities in combination with media logic and economics play a significant role and influence ongoing renegotiations of values and practices among these key actors. It also shows how refereeing is becoming much more complex with VAR, moving the pressure to the new role as video assistant referee, creating dilemmas in the team of referees and changing the authority of the referee from an individual into a more collective matter.

This paper proposes a strategy to segment the playing field in soccer images, suitable for integration in many soccer image analysis applications. The combination of a green chromaticity-based analysis and an analysis of the chromatic distortion using full-color information, both at the pixel-level, allows segmenting the green areas of the images. Then, a fully automatic post-processing block at the region-level discards the green areas that do not belong to the playing field. The strategy has been evaluated with hundreds of annotated images from matches in several stadiums with different grass shades and light conditions. The results obtained have been of great quality in all the images, even in those with the most complex lighting conditions (e.g., high contrast between sunlit and shadowed areas). In addition, these results have improved those obtained with leading state-of-the-art playing field segmentation strategies.
