The video assistant referee (VAR) system can help referees “avoid mistakes” when officiating World Cup matches, a FIFA Referees Committee spokesman, Roberto Rosetti said on Saturday. The Italian has also been responsible for helping to implement VAR in Italy.
“It [VAR] was a great success in Italy… The statistics are very positive. We had more than a hundred referee decisions changed... Technologies are everywhere. The target of VAR is justice and to avoid clear and obvious mistakes,” Rosetti told journalists.
VAR will be used at the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which will be held between June 14 and July 15 at 12 arenas in 11 cities across Russia.
