The French football league confirms that the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system is expected to be introduced to Ligue 1 as of next season.

The French football league has approved the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system as of next season.

On Thursday, the board of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) backed a proposal that should see the new system introduced for the 2018-19 Ligue 1 campaign.

The decision, taken at the LFP's general assembly, will mean that replays can be used to assist on crucial calls in matches.

According to French news outlet L'Equipe, VAR will be used in the case of goals, penalty calls, straight red cards and mistaken identity for bookings or dismissals.

"If everything goes well, we should start at the beginning of next season," French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet told reporters.

"I think it`s a good initiative, all the club presidents want it, as do the referees and other observers."

VAR has been used since the start of this season in Serie A and the Bundesliga.
