(Baonghean.vn) - VAR will be piloted in some matches in Vietnam in 2023, to help referees deploy and operate; Japan became the first team to announce the list of 26 players participating in the 2022 World Cup. Those are the notable sports news in the past 24 hours.

VAR will be piloted in 2023, V.League matches will have more camera angles

Mr. Tran Anh Tu - Chairman of the Board of Directors of VPF said that VAR will be piloted in some matches in Vietnam in 2023, to help referees deploy and operate. In addition, the number of camera angles in V.League matches will also be increased to 8.

VPF has signed a strategic cooperation agreement for 5 consecutive seasons (from 2023 to 2027) with FPT Play.

Previously in V.League matches, this number often fluctuated at 6 camera angles. This can be seen as a big step forward in the quality of matches in V.League.

Ranking in V.League greatly determines revenue from television copyright

V.League teams are expected to have more revenue from television rights than First Division teams. In the V.League alone, it is likely that the rankings of teams will also affect the amount of money they receive from television rights.

VPF will work with FPT Play to promote image development and commercial exploitation of the three leading tournaments that VPF is managing, organizing and operating, including: V.League, First Division, National Cup for 5 consecutive seasons, from 2023 to 2027, on multiple platforms. The contract value details were not disclosed. But according to many previous sources, each season, FPT Play will pay VPF about 60 billion VND in television copyright fees.

Teams in the V.League will receive more than those in the First Division, in which the rankings of teams in the V.League and the First Division based on the rankings also affect the difference in revenue received.
