Starting next weekend, in five selected Bundesliga stadiums, referees will make public announcements to explain key decisions during matches.

This initiative, initially implemented as a pilot phase, aims to improve transparency and understanding of refereeing decisions among fans.

During the recent winter break, the DFB prepared specific training sessions for referees to get ready for these public communications.

This measure seeks to bring referees and their decisions closer to the public, providing direct explanations that help spectators better understand the rules and interpretations in controversial situations during matches.
