As the 2022 World Cup approaches, here’s everything you need to know about FIFA’s VAR (video assistant referee) system and how it works.
Before VAR was introduced in the English Premier League in 2018-19, the percentage of correct key match decisions was 82%.
Over the span of 2019-2020, 109 calls were overturned by VAR, making it an average of one overturned call per 3.5 matches.In 2018, the International Football Association Board approved trials and then the use of VAR in soccer. That said, VAR cannot overrule a referee but can provide advice. The VAR will communicate with the on-field referee when needed.After the successful use of VAR technology at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, it will be applied again in 2022.
