Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, has announced the twisted that the highest body in the world of football wishes to give the VAR, a tool that has been in the eye of the storm since the first day of its application, according to the newspaper Marca. And some Leagues, like premierit is proposed to stop using it: on June 6, in their General Assembly, English clubs will vote whether to continue using it or from next season they will send it to the ‘trashcan of history’.
Infantinoat the FIFA Congress to be held this Friday in Bangkok, announced that “we intend to develop and improve VAR“, of which he has always been a staunch defender.
An improvement that has similarities to ‘Hawk’s Eye’ which is used in tenniswhere players have the option to request the use of technology in the event of doubt as to whether the ball has gone in or not.
“A more basic technology has been created, with fewer cameras and therefore more affordable for everyone,” explained Infantino, who revealed that “the system is tested“. The system is similar to that used in tennis: “The coaches of each team can request the assistance of VAR on two occasions.”without specifying whether per match or per episode.
“And players can encourage their coach to request a review. In the event that as a result of the requested review there is change in the preliminary decision adopted by the referee, the group that promoted the consultation will keep both opportunities to ask for a review of the play,” Infantino concluded.
