Abu Dhabi: With the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system making its debut from the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup UAE 2019, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) today held a media briefing outlining the rationale, principles and reviewable decisions of the VAR.
The VAR system will be implemented in the final seven matches of the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 from Thursday, January 24, 2019.
Since the landmark decision in September last year, the AFC has been working closely with FIFA and the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to ensure the successful implementation of the VAR system.
In addition, a comprehensive series of VAR specific workshops have been organised in recent months to ensure Asia’s elite match officials receive the optimum level of preparation.
