Tonight, Orlando City B will be a part of history as the video assistant referee (VAR) program makes its debut in a professional soccer game. The USL, in collaboration with Major League Soccer, will implement the new program at Red Bull Arena when OCB takes on New York Red Bulls II at 7 p.m. The program will be overseen by the International Football Association Board (IFAB).
This development comes following the IFAB's second workshop, which took place at Red Bull Arena last month. Following the workshop, MLS and the USL offered the IFAB the opportunity to test their program during USL regular-season games.
