RBFA Selects EVS's Xeebra

At the SportsTech Belgium Summit held today at the Proximus Basecamp in Tubize, the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA) announced its selection of EVS's Xeebra® video review system to power its new centralised VAR (Video Assistant Referee) Centre.

The facility, located at the RBFA's headquarters, will be fully equipped by Euro Media Group (EMG) ahead of the upcoming Jupiler Pro League season kicking off in July.
The new VAR Centre will feature six state-of-the-art booths, each outfitted with EVS’s Xeebra system—an intuitive, FIFA- and FIBA-certified multi-camera review solution trusted across 13 sports worldwide. Xeebra enables officials to review action from multiple angles in perfect synchronisation, with touchscreen controls that allow for precise zooming and slow-motion playback.

Peter Willems, CEO of the RBFA, emphasised the strategic importance of the partnership: "This investment represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to innovation and fairness in football. By centralising our VAR operations with EVS’s Xeebra technology, we are equipping our referees with the most advanced tools available — ensuring more accurate decisions and reinforcing Belgian football’s position as a leader in integrity and technological excellence."

Nicolas Bourdon, Chief Commercial Officer at EVS, added: "We're proud to see Xeebra at the heart of Belgian football. This collaboration with the RBFA and EMG is a testament to our shared vision of delivering the highest standards in officiating through cutting-edge technology. And with access to the VAR Centre for training and demonstrations, we're excited to make Tubize a hub for VAR excellence in Europe."
