The FIFA World Cup 2018 is here to stay. How is it possible that there will be no surprises of new technology in the World Cup Football World Cup! One such new technology is the VAR or video assistant referee system. Although this technology has been used in various leagues before, this is the first time that VAR technology will be used in FIFA World Cup. FIFA has officially decided to use this system in the World Cup.

But how does this VAR system work and what is there to talk about? These will be discussed in this article.

What is VAR?

VAR is a referee assistant system created with the help of recently introduced video in the game of football. This helps the field referee to make the right decision through video replay of the game. In that case, a special team in the off-field studio analyzes the video replay. Although this process has been used in cricket for a long time, it is very new in football. This year, the International Football Association wrote a law on VAR technology in board football games. By And FIFA Russia will use this technology in the World Cup.

What will the VAR system be used for?

This system will be used to make the 4 types of decisions taken by the referee more accurate. These are-

1. Whether goals have been scored and whether any rules have been broken in the process of scoring goals.

2. Penalty decision.

3. Decisions made about giving red cards.

4. Decisions made about giving a wrong red or yellow card to another person.

How will the VAR system work?

In the process, the video assistant referee and one or more of his associates will sit in front of a number of monitors during the game in a room called the video operation room. Live and game replays can be seen on these monitors. Replay operators will help him in this task.

Whenever the head referee is hesitant to make a decision on the field, he can ask the VAR to review the VAR with the headset (or signal the TV replay with the hand like a cricket). While viewing the video footage, if the VAR team thinks that the head referee should recommend a review, they can report it through the headset.

As an official signal, the referees will draw a rectangle using the index finger and signal for video review. There will be a place outside the sideline for review called On Field Review Spot where the head referee can discuss with the VAR room. He wants to communicate with the VAR team on the headset even during the game You can.

However, no player can claim a review using the official signal (there is a penalty for doing so). Some more policies have been made in this regard. Current or former referees will act as VARs.

VAR Video clips of the decision will be shown on the Giant Screen and on TV in the field.

All World Cup matches will be telecast from a room in Moscow, Russia. It is hoped that the use of this technology will lead to greater transparency in game outcomes and judgment.
