Europe's top leagues have been summoned to a meeting with Uefa in the summer to discuss how video assistant referee (VAR) technology is being used. Roberto Rosetti - the head of Uefa's referees - called the meeting after saying last month the game must not "go in this direction of microscopic VAR interventions". Uefa wants to discuss with leagues how they use VAR, and the thresholds applied. Rosetti also wants all leagues to speak "only one technical language" after controversy over the inconsistent application of laws such as handball. It is hoped the meeting could lead to a more universal approach to the laws and with how VAR is used.
