The authorities of the Professional Football League will implement the “captains zone”a rule that debuted in the Eurocup and which seeks to facilitate the task of the referees.
The 14th date of the top category of the Argentine football will bring an innovation with it and that is that the high spheres of the domestic tournament took the decision to implement the “Captains Zone”a rule that prevents both full squads from surrounding a referee in the middle of crucial decisions.
This regulation was implemented by the UEFA in the past Eurocup of Germany who won Spain in July.
What is sought with this rule is to avoid crowds around the referee when there is a dubious play, it is called from the VAR or, directly, resorts to the technological tool.

The success of the application of the measure in the Eurocup resulted in the IFAB -the entity that regulates the rules of the game at a global level- decides to implement it in other leagues, such as in Brazil.
Only the captains may approach the referee when he needs to explain crucial decisions to them.
At the same time, designated players must communicate in a respectful manner and avoid exaggerated arguments.
In addition, any player who approaches the referee in the middle of the conversation with the captains may be cautioned, although the referee may request the presence of any other player who is not the captain to explain what he deems necessary.
