The board of the International Football Association (IFAB) adopted the decision to introduce the explanation of the referee’s decisions, in which VAR participates, to spectators and fans both in the stadium and through TV broadcasts. The decision will be implemented in international competitions during the next 12 months as a pilot project.
“We decided on this because we received some requests to make the decision made by the referee after the VAR intervention more understandable for all football players, i.e. spectators in the stadium or in front of the television. Since language could be one of the problems, we thought that this FIFA The Club World Cup will be perfect because it is a competition in multiple languages, with teams and, of course, spectators coming from all six different continents,” Colina told the FIFA website.
