Explanations of the VAR decisions will be broadcast, both in stadiums and live on television, during the Women’s World Cup in order to make the process “more transparent”, said Tuesday Pierluigi Collina, president of the referees committee of FIFA.
This device will be used for the first time by referees at a major tournament during the World Cup which begins Thursday in Australia and New Zealand. He had been tested at the Club World Cup in Morocco this year and during the U20 World Cup in Argentina last month.
“We are convinced that this new tool will be very positive.”

According to Pierluigi Collina, the tests were conclusive. “We want to give more transparency and a better understanding of the refereeing decisions,” explained the head of the FIFA referees, while fans have long called for more transparency in the decisions made.
“The referees present in Sydney have already tried the sound system on the training grounds and everything is going well,” he said. “We are convinced that this new tool will be very positive.”

During the matches of the World Cup, the referees will be able to consult a screen on the edge of the field before explaining their decision, its motivation, the players involved and giving a brief description of the situation to the public thanks to a microphone placed on their shirt.
But a concern persists on the side of the referees, admitted Pierluigi Collina. Everyone will have to explain decisions in English, even those whose mother tongue is not, adding additional pressure to them.
“In any situation, there are arguments for and against,” Collina reacted to this subject. “We will then discuss what is best for the future.”
