“A more basic technology has been created, with fewer cameras and therefore more affordable for everyone,” explained Infantino, who revealed that “the system is already tested“. The system is similar to that used in tennis: “The coaches of each team may request the help of the VAR on two occasions.”without specifying if by match or by each period.
