Change at the highest level in Spanish refereeing. Carlos Velasco Carballo, the president of the Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), who has led one of the most complex stages with the introduction of the VAR in Spain, will not continue in his position, as officially announced by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), at a meeting in the Ciudad del Futbol of Las Rozas, in the presence of all referees and assistant referees.
Velasco Carballo becomes part of the UEFA referee organization and will be replaced as head of the CTA by Luis Medina Cantalejo, another former international referee, who had been the president of the Andalusian referees committee until now. Beyond the change of names, it may also lead to a variation in the Spanish refereeing guidelines, since the one who in the next few hours will be announced as the new head of the referees in Spain defends a line marked by a greater weight in the interpretation of referees and not so much in the strict application of the regulations, a trend that has generated much criticism in recent times.
