DFB-Schiris enforce Kein Ecken-Check, punish Kid errors and split VAR

DFB-Schiris Kein Ecken-Check Kid have given the green light for the upcoming Saison, with DFB-Schiri GmbH, the Bundesliga-Gruppe and FIFA‑Referee Daniel Siebert confirming their support. They stress clear Lehren from the WM, promise a Zurückhaltung in officiating, a Spagat at VAR and a pleasing Zahl from the Basis.

The new protocol explicitly bans a Ecken-Check, as indicated by the phrase Kein Ecken-Check, and declares that a Kid's mistake will be punished. This signals a tougher stance from each Referee on Ecken decisions.

The guidelines also feature a Spagat beim VAR, allowing split‑screen reviews, while celebrating a positive Zahl emerging from the Basis of grassroots refereeing. Officials expect these measures to enhance consistency across the league.
