Video assistant referees will be used at next year's World Cup in Russia, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has confirmed.
Infantino had first talked about introducing video assistants at a meeting of the International Football Association Board in March.
Speaking at a congress of the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) in Santiago, Chile, he said: "At the 2018 World Cup we will have video referees, because so far the results are very positive.
"It should that not happen that, in 2017, almost everyone in the stadium or at home will see in seconds if the referee made a mistake, and the only one who can not see is the referee,'' added Infantino in quotes reported by Brazilian newspaper O Globo.
