National Referee Days in France: French National Handball League is showcasing VOGO's solution, deployed for the second consecutive season on the Men's championship Liqui Moly StarLigue

VOGO (ISIN: FR0011532225 - ALVGO) is announcing that its video refereeing solution is being showcased by the French National Handball League (LNH) as part of the National Referee Days

On the occasion of the National Referee Days in France, organised by La Poste from 1 to 8 October 2025 and sponsored this year by Nikola Karabatic, a handball and sports icon in France, the National Handball League (LNH) is partnering with VOGO to showcase a unique innovation in the sports landscape: a video refereeing system that gives referees complete autonomy in image selection and decision-making, without the need for intervention by a third party or oeprator.

Introduced during the last season of the Men's championship, Liqui Moly StarLigue, this system is a major step forward for French professional handball. Unlike other sports where third parties are involved in the process (slow-motion operators, etc.), LNH referees have full control of the images from a touchscreen located right next to the course.

Innovation that benefits the game, referees and audiences

Designed to provide greater clarity and confidence in refereeing decisions, this technology:

enables referees to instantly review the action from multiple angles and zoom in where most relevant;
allows live broadcasting of images and audio from the referees;
offers a platform for post-match analysis for referees and technical staff;
and soon to come, a spectator app for use in arenas to review key actiosn from their smartphone once connectivity to 4G/5G networks is fully operational in the infrastructures.

Last season, video replay refereeing was used 171 times in 240 Liqui Moly StarLigue matches, showing the speed with which it has been adopted and how useful it has proven.

Fabrice Boutet, President of the French National Handball League: "Innovating is in the LNH's DNA, and this video refereeing system is proof. But beyond its role for the game, we want to make real use of it for the audience experience. Our goal is simple: that every spectator in the room better understands the decisions made and discovers the full range of rules of the sport. In a step further, we will soon be testing the referee sound system and unveiling educational displays for spectators in arenas. We believe that this system can further strengthen the unique links between the field, the players and the public."

Christophe Carniel, co-founder and Chairman and CEO of VOGO: "We take great pride in supporting the LNH with this unique innovation in Europe. This partnership demonstrates the versatility of our video and audio solutions in the benefits it offers for refereeing, performance and spectator experience. We are delighted to be the first to offer referees full autonomy in analysing images themselves, a solution that the European Handball Federation is now also considering."
