UEFA has announced that Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will be used in the Champions League from next season.

The European football governing body revealed VAR would be used in the 2019-20 campaign from the play-off stage onward.

UEFA also confirmed VAR would be used at the 2019 UEFA Super Cup, the Euro 2020 finals, the Europa League group stage from the 2020-21 season and the 2021 Nations League finals.

The decision was made by the UEFA executive committee during a meeting in Nyon, Switzerland on Thursday.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: 'We are confident that introducing video assistant referees in August 2019 will give us enough time to put in place a robust system and to train match officials to ensure an efficient and successful implementation of VAR in the UEFA Champions League, the world's flagship club competition.'

VAR is already been used in a host of European leagues with the technology already implemented in the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A.
