The Premier League have decided to trial VAR.Report says the video technology will be used in the Premier League to help officials make decisions.
It’s also supposed to decrease the margin of error for officals.
Of course, we’ve seen plenty of cases where VAR has become an issue.
In the World Cup, there were some decisions that were mocked after the officials using VAR got them wrong.
There are also concerns over VAR slowing down the game and if the volume of 3pm games will cause chaos for the officials reviewing VAR.
When will it come in?
VAR is also set to be trialled in the Champions League, and will feature in 15 Premier League games this season.
The video replays will first be seen after the international break on the 15th September.
VAR will feature during the 3pm games, to see if the officials watching at the VAR hub can keep up with the volume of games in a key test for the technology.
How will VAR be used?
The VAR hub will be based at Stockley Park, near Heathrow.
That means VAR officials will not be at each ground, and there will be no contact with the referee on the field.
That’s so the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) can trial VAR ahead of what they hope is a full introduction next season.
Of course, that means VAR is being trialled, but will not impact games in the Premier League this season.
