Earlier this month, it was announced that video referees will be tested in football no later than the 2017-18 season.

The historic decision was made at a meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in the Welsh capital Cardiff.

Many sports have utilised the use of video to make rulings on contentious decisions but football had long held out.

There are fears that the flow of the game will become disrupted but, in a bid to prevent high-profile refereeing mistakes, video trials will be held for a minimum of two years to access the advantages and disadvantages of the technology.

The English Premier League (EPL) and Germany’s Bundesliga have already given their backing to the proposals and another major European league has now followed suit with Tebas saying: "We’re in favour of technology in stadiums."

IFAB, which makes rulings on the laws of football, say they do not expect to achieve 100 per accuracy for every single decision, with video only used for "game-changing" moments.

This would include goals, penalty decisions, red cards and cases of mistaken identity.

Unlike the EPL and the Bundesliga - as well as Italy’s Serie A and France’s Ligue 1 - La Liga has yet to implement goal-line technology.

Tebas said this is "for political reasons, not technological reasons", citing the high cost of systems.

He said he hopes they will become more affordable under the leadership of newly-appointed FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Tebas made clear his standpoint on the matter after delivering a presentation which looked to demonstrate how, through its various projects, La Liga is meeting its objective of creating value and of taking itself to every corner of the world.

Among those in attendance at the presentation was Christian Karembeu, a 1998 FIFA World Cup winner with France and now La Liga ambassador.

Karembeu recognises that Spain’s top flight is behind the EPL in terms of its global appeal, but he's hopeful La Liga can emulate or even better English football's premier competition over time.

"We can see that the Premier League knows how to sell the product and we can see that everywhere in the world it’s well represented," the former Real Madrid midfielder told insidethegames.

"For sure, La Liga could do the same and maybe better.

"We’re very, very fond of the Premier League because the standard is very high and very attractive and that’s why all the footballers want to go to England."

Earlier today, La Liga’s strategic projects director Nacho M Trujillo was one of the speakers here on a panel entitled "Virtual reality, UHD, and the future of sports content delivery".

The session provided attendees with an overview of virtual reality and UHD - two new distribution platforms - and looked at what it takes to create a compelling experience for both formats. 

Asked about the value of virtual reality and UHD to La Liga, Trujillo said: "We think that it's a time to dream.

"In order to dream, the focus should probably be on how we can be as close as possible to the fans - to try to re-create with them our vision about football and our passion about football.

"We have fans and when you have fans, the most important thing is finalising how you can engage them."
