IFAB carrying out study of manager-led VAR system in under-20 tournament

The introduction of the VAR system has not resolved all of football’s issues with officiating, and while it was never likely to, the inconsistencies have focused the attention on officials more if anything. The governing body of the rulebook, IFAB, are testing out a fresh system they are calling Football Video Support.

The FVS system would have managers allowed monitors to review incidents, and twice per game, they would be able to challenge a referee’s decision, rather than a video referee intervening. It would be akin to the systems in place in cricket or tennis, where they are also allotted challenges.
