'It won't all be smooth sailing' - Broxham cautions patience with VARs in A-League

Australia's top tier will be the first in the world to use FIFA's video review system live and one player has warned against high expectations

Melbourne Victory midfielder Leigh Broxham has warned no-one should expect the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system to work perfectly immediately as the A-League prepares for its introduction.

VARs will be on hand for all five games of Round 26 in the A-League this weekend, with Australia's premier division set to be the first top-tier league in the world to use the video review system.

As part of FIFA's ongoing testing and trial period, VARs will be involved for the remaining two rounds of the regular season plus the three weeks of finals.
