The double between CFR Cluj and Lazio will benefit from the VAR system – UEFA has announced

A third European competition did not have a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system this season, and the European Forum announced on Thursday that the addition will also exist from the sixteenth.

The champion of Romania took the 2nd place in Group G of the Conference League and will meet Lazio in a two-legged match for a place in the 1/8 finals.

The first match will take place on February 16 at the Stadio Olimpico, the return match is scheduled for a week later.

This decision will undoubtedly please Dan Petrescu, who has repeatedly emphasized this issue related to video refereeing.
