FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup: FIFA Introduces Alternative To VAR

Precious Oham

History will be made in Colombia with the introduction of an alternative to VAR called the Football Video Support (FVS), BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Football Video Support (FVS), an alternative to VAR, is to be used on a trial basis at the upcoming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup

According to FIFA, the trial follows numerous requests from member associations for an alternative, cost-effective way to use technology to support match officials. 

In response to those requests, FIFA has developed FVS, which, unlike the video assistant referee system, does not use dedicated video match officials and therefore does not check all match-changing incidents.
