Major League Soccer continues to serve as a leader in video review testing as MLS has received approval from the International Football Association Board (The IFAB) to conduct Video Assistant Referee experiments in select competitive matches during the remainder of the United Soccer League (USL) regular season.
Following the second IFAB workshop at Red Bull Arena last month, MLS and the USL offered The IFAB an opportunity to further test communication between the Video Assistant Referee and the on-field referee through trials in select USL regular-season matches. These trials are important preparation for future experiments that will take place in competitions across the seven countries confirmed for participation in the VAR program, as well as in select FIFA competitions.
