FIFA will test the use of video for coaches

A new revolution in Football to come? As reported ESPN NetherlandsFIFA hopes to develop the Football Video Support (FVS) system. This alternative to VAR would allow coaches to “challenge” a refereeing decision that they consider to be erroneous. Validated by the IFAB, this system was tested this year for the Women's Under-17 and Under-20 World Cups. “ The experiences during these two competitions will be analyzed carefully, but so far we have not noticed anything unexpected », Said Pierluigi Colina, president of the FIFA referees committee.

The world football body will present a report, which will decide whether the experiment can be extended. Several leagues have already expressed their interest in hosting the experiment. However, Colina would like to point out that “ the FVS is not the VAR. » « With the low number of cameras used, the FVS will not be able to show what the VAR can show. »
