When is VAR used?
The use of video arbitration technology is designed to resolve the following situations in matches where its application is available:
- Goals: The function of the video assistants is to help the referee determine if there has been an infringement that prevents a goal from being awarded. Once the ball has crossed the goal line, the game has already been interrupted, so the pace of the match is not affected.
- Penalties: Video assistants avoid erroneous decisions regarding the granting (or not) of a penalty.
- Red cards: Video refereeing prevents wrong decisions being made regarding the expulsion of a player.
- Identity confusion: If a referee does not caution or send off the player he should, or it is not clear which player has committed an offence, the video assistants can inform the referee so that he can penalize the relevant player.
What is VAR?
VAR is a tool that makes it easier for referees to make decisions. It is a set of cameras that broadcast to a room away from the field, where video assistants can review the plays. They are only used in four very specific situations that can determine the outcome of the match, and offer great advantages without hardly interfering with the pace of the game.
