"Fifa has been trialling a new video review format where managers can hold up a card to request a decision to be reviewed by the referee. The cards are part of a new system called Football Video Support (FVS) being tested at the Under-20 World Cup and other smaller-scale leagues and tournaments. A growing number of competitions that do not have the money or resources for full VAR technology are introducing pilot runs for the system that has been described as "cost-effective and scalable""
"A card is given to each opposing manager - one blue and one purple - and can only be used by the manager themselves, or another senior team official in their absence. Players can also ask their managers to make review requests. Review requests can only be made immediately after the incident has occured. A manager can request a review by twirling their finger in the air and handing their review request card to the fourth official."
"It is designed for use in competitions where matches are covered by up to four cameras, rather than the huge multi-camera systems used in the major leagues. As with tennis and cricket, if a challenge is upheld, the manager would retain two challenges. If they lose, the challenge would be lost. Fifa states that the system "is used only in the event of a possible"
Fifa is trialling Football Video Support (FVS), a card-based video review system for competitions with limited resources and camera coverage. Each team receives a colored card to be used by the manager or a senior official to request an immediate review of clear and obvious errors or serious missed incidents, such as goal/no goal, penalty/no penalty, or direct red cards. Matches using FVS rely on up to four cameras rather than full VAR setups. Managers signal reviews by twirling a finger and handing the card to the fourth official. Successful challenges may retain two challenges; unsuccessful ones lose the challenge.
