LaLiga Will enter the SAOT (Offside Semi-automatic)

One of the innovations, titled "Arbitration, VAR (Referee Assistant of Video) and SAOT (Offside Semi-automatic)", establishes the implementation of the system of offside semi-automatic. However, it specifies that this will carry out "as long as the same was authorised by the competent organisms". Likewise, it indicates that it will implement in accordance with the protocols and disposals established by the IFAB (International Football Association Board) or the FIFA (International Federation of Football Associated).

It is necessary to stand out that this system of support for the collegiate assistants already has used in competitions like the Supercopa of 2023 and 2024, contested in Saudi Arabia, and began to implement in the UEFA Champions League from the season 2022/23.

The patronal also will apply the additional replacement by cerebral shock

According to the regulation, this change will be able to make in the moment that "produce the fact, suspect of his existence, after the medical recognition inside or out of the terrain of game, or in any another moment, even if the player has been subjected to a medical recognition and have reincorporado to the party".

Added to this, this rule also awards a profit to the contrary cast, since when implementing this additional replacement by cerebral shock, the combined rival automatically will have the option to make "a replacement more and an opportunity of additional replacement, that will be able to make of simultaneous way or subsequently to the replacement by cerebral shock that have effected the team opponent". Nevertheless, this additional change comes conditioned, since "only it will be able to employ to make an additional replacement, no a normal replacement".
