"It is probable that in the next weeks we will open the possibility to join the trial for the next season to member association and competition organisers. In Italy, we say that in every wonderful marriage, there is a crisis after seven years. So it might be possible that people fall in love with the VAR, and then after some years... crisis."
"It changes the dynamic. It reduces the amount of times when there is a VAR intervention and effectively puts the onus on the coach. That's something which we might continue to learn as we trial that model. Parts of the game [that use FVS] fundamentally can't afford for VAR at the moment."
FIFA's International Football Association Board has initiated a comprehensive two-year review of the video assistant referee system, marking the 10th anniversary of VAR's initial approval. Pierluigi Collina, chair of the referees' committee, announced that Football Video Support trials, which permit coaches to make two challenges per match, will likely expand to additional regions beyond Italy, Malta, and Spain. The review addresses growing criticism of VAR this season, with many questioning whether football would benefit from its removal. Football Association chief Mark Bullingham emphasized maintaining game flow and minimizing delays, opposing VAR checks on corners while supporting the challenge system. The challenge model shifts intervention responsibility to coaches and reduces overall VAR involvement in matches.
