While, just after a year, Czech football is again in a strange and somewhat explainable situation, because of the eight matches of the last round of the basic league, which, paradoxically due to regularity, is played on Sunday with a single kick-off, due to the lack of technology, only half is covered by video. an unprecedented direction.
Currently, the Allsvenskan is the only one of the ten elite leagues in Europe that has not yet used video. In the past season, the fans, the traditional edges of the spring-autumn system, persistently protested against its implementation. And at the beginning of the new year, it seems, they definitely got their way.
Clubs that, according to the 50+1 rule, for example, from the German Bundesliga, before the fans, if you like lazy, officially voted for the league without a video.
And because we are equally aware of democracy, which is to be respected and protected, we will not push for anything, confirmed the head of football there, Fredrik Reinfeldt, in a fourth interview for the newspaper Aftonbladet.
You know, it’s actually quite simple. But take that behind the decision, which watches the world with admiration, even with misunderstanding, it is certainly much more complicated.
Always first, Reinfeldt, who was the prime minister of Vienna for eight years (2006-2014), took up the position of president of the football association last March with the idea that the introduction of video is a necessary step forward for the Vienna league.
New f the German Football Association and former German Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt spoke to the newspaper after being elected.
I thought that the video would become an obligation on the part of UEFA, but what happened then. And from what I understand, it won’t even be like that in the future, he responds with distance. This is the main reason why we decided to comply with Mr. Club and not open the debate about the introduction of videos at all. Assuming that it will remain so in five years, he continued.
Eighteen out of twenty professional clubs in the country spoke out against video in football, which is a very small percentage. Two districts have the same pattern, they are part of the local football association.
Therefore, VAR has only caught up to the saves of the European games in the world, which resulted from the UEFA rules.
Our own national league, however, to five fans, who simply do not spit on the money of the Saxons, uses VAR and gives nonsense, explains Svante Samuelsson from the organization Svensk Elitfotboll, it is united by professional clubs and functions similarly to the Czech League Football Association (LFA).
Eight teams play in the first and second leagues in the same way as in the Czech Republic, and recently there has been a wild boom in the promotion of the league. This is confirmed by the sla, according to which, last year, millions of people came together for rescue, and the wild average, the highest total, was ten thousand dogs for the first time in history.
The football league in the country is on the rise. The market went crazy for records, moreover, thanks to the attitude of the fans, they rejected the introduction of VAR.
The leitmotif of the entire season was the idiotic and rebellious fight of fan organizations against the overall commercialization of football, including modern equipment such as VAR. By the way, neighboring Norway is also in a similar mood, which introduced video in 2023 in connection with the new television contract, but the fans are not happy about it.
Their arguments?
Remove delays from the VAR system in the form of a lengthy examination of individual situations, often close to offside. They don’t mind the uneven meter of barrels that VAR serves. And believe that technology robs football of immediate emotions.

Their attitude is certainly different, but also a completely different mentality and set up of the entire football environment, which behind every mistake in the decision is not looking for lies and conspiracies.
Czech Republic, which was one of the first to introduce video in Europe in December 2017, quickly became one of the countries where technology has caught up with all leagues, that is, if you are not playing at the same time…
From the summer, a so-called calibrated ra should be available, which with a video assistant will help when investigating tight offside situations, and in the future, a large video center will also be planned, so that the barrel does not have to crowd around the monitor in the penos cars.
They chose a different path in vdsk. They take off, they don’t. Will they be left without video on vn asy?
