The referees will explain decisions related to VAR in the stadium and to viewers during the Women’s World Cup. Additionally, refereeing sticks to pure playing time as much as possible, which means matches can go on much longer than usual.
Video referees can also call referees to the side at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand to assess a situation. Based on the footage, the referees will determine whether to stick with their original decision or adjust their decision.
The referees will explain in English via their microphone if there has been a fault and which player will be penalized or not. The communication will be heard both in the stadium and on television.
This is the third FIFA World Football Association tournament where referees explain their decisions (after a VAR intervention). This was also the case during the Club Team World Cup in Morocco (February) and the Men’s Under-20 World Cup in Argentina (May and June).
Lots of extra time in World Cup matches
FIFA is sticking to clean playing time, just like at the Men’s World Cup in Qatar last year. The referee will add time to substitutions, injury treatments, red cards, penalties and VAR decisions, among others. The tournament duels in Qatar lasted an average of eleven minutes longer.
FIFA will use the semi-automatic offside system again at the next World Cup. The video referees receive a signal from the system in the event of a possible offside situation. This allows the referee to more accurately and quickly judge offside situations.
The World Cup in Australia and New Zealand starts on July 20 and lasts until August 20. The Orange team will face Portugal, Vietnam and defending champions USA in the group stage.
