VAR will be used for the first time in a UEFA national tournament
A VAR team will be based at each stadium to support the referee and check for ‘clear and obvious’ errors relating to goals, red cards, penalty box incidents or mistaken identity.
It follows the successful introduction of the technology in the Champions League knockout stages and Europa League final.

It will be the first time VAR has been used in a national competition run by UEFA.
The head coaches of each of four teams involved were briefed in April on the use of VAR at the finals by UEFA’s chief refereeing officer Roberto Rosetti.
England head coach Gareth Southgate said: “We had positive experiences of VAR in the World Cup.
“My feeling both internationally and domestically is that, in the main, the big decisions have been right. The purpose of using VAR is to help the referees so I think it has been a help.
