In the 2018 World Cup event this referee often use VAR Video Assistant Referee alias.
Because of this technology, the referee has decided to penalize 14 times from 29 matches that have been going on. It has exceeded the total penalty in 2014 which reached 13 times.
Last is a penalty when England counter Panama. Thanks to this penalty, this Three Lion Country managed to beat Panama with a score of 6-1 and bring England to the last 16.
VAR technology is a camera technology used to minimize referee errors. FIFA uses this technology for the first time at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Although there are 11 stadiums used during matches in Russia, but the team that oversees the VAR has only a center in Moscow.
The VAR supervisory team has 13 members. Four people are assigned in each match. They have access to 33 cameras inside the stadium. There are 12 cameras that have slow motion capabilities. Cameras with normal speed are used to view body contact between players and to see handball violations intentionally.
There are also two cameras to see offside potential. In the future, there will also be ultra slow motion cameras that will be installed behind each wicket. This system will be used in the fall phase.
In addition to camera access, the VAR team is also given communication access to the referees through fiber-based radio networks. This communication can be done in both directions. So, the referee can ask the VAR team to provide a reproduction video. Just for information, the referee has a monitor facility located on the edge of the field near the bench.
Observation between the VAR team and the referees is what helps the referee in making important decisions, such as penalties, goals, and red cards.
Although impressed advanced, VAR technology does not use tools that are excessive. VAR key is only camera, monitor, and referee communication lines. VAR rules and systems have been designed since 2016 ago.
