  • FAQ: Experiments with Video Assistant Referees in Football
    FAQ: Experiments with video assistant referees in football Last update – 22 April 2016 This document provides information on the steps being taken to implement experiments with video assistant referees (VARs) in association football following the historic decision of The International Football Association Board (The IFAB) on 5 March 2016. It will be updated regularly as further details can be confirmed and as the experiments progress. Why did The IFAB decide to allow live video assistance experiments? Following a high number of requests from the global football community and considering further technological advances in the sports industry in recent years, The IFAB agreed in 2014 to analyse how video assistance for match officials could potentially be used in football. Based on discussions with its various bodies as well as initial data collected since 2014, The IFAB, in close partnership with FIFA’s Football Technology Innovation Department drafted a detailed experiment protocol for live video assistance experiments and presented it at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 5 March 2016. The IFAB agreed in principle that video experiments based on the drafted protocol would be the best way to understand the pros and cons of video assistance in full. Who did The IFAB consult before taking this decision? The IFAB consulted with football associations and leagues, particularly those that have made efforts to analyse the various steps and implications of implementing video assistance experiments in a competition, namely the Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) and the USA’s Major League Soccer. The results were presented and discussed by The IFAB and its bodies, including the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) and the Football Advisory Panel (FAP), the Technical Subcommittee and the Board of Directors.
