Whatever you may think of how VAR has affected the game, one obvious area for improvement has always been the way decisions are communicated. For the most part, all fans are shown is the final result with no official explanation of why a decision was made — or in some cases, even what was being reviewed.
IFAB, the governing body that oversees the laws of the game, announced on Wednesday that it is looking for ways to address that over the next year.
The first of those tests will be conducted at the Club World Cup when communication between the referee and video assistant will be shared both in the stadium and to broadcast viewers.
