After the International Football Association Board (IFAB) and FIFA met earlier this month, it was announced that six competitions around the globe would begin to experiment with video assistant referees (VARs).
The only situations that the VARs will take part in with decision-making will include:
1. Goals scored
2. Penalty decisions
3. Direct red card incidents
4. Mistake identities
While The IFAB won’t officially announce whether they will or will not implement VARs until 2018 or 2019, there are plans to test-run it during the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan this December.
