Which manager’s VAR card is tried by FIFA?

Each opposing manager is given a card – one blue and one purple – and can only be used by the manager himself, or another senior team official in his absence. Players can also ask their managers to submit review requests.

Review requests can only be submitted immediately after the incident occurs.

The manager can request a review by raising his finger in the air and handing his 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 bulky multi-camera systems used in major leagues.

As with tennis and cricket, if a challenge is upheld, the manager will retain both challenges. If they lose, the challenge will be lost.

FIFA states that the system is “only used in the event of a potentially clear and obvious foul, or a serious missed incident in relation to the following scenarios, such as goal scored/no goal scored, penalty kick/no penalty kick or direct red cards (not second yellow cards).”

“The FVS system is a tool to support referees in competitions with fewer resources and cameras. It should not be viewed as video assistant referee (VAR) technology or a modified version of it, as it does not include video match referees monitoring every incident,” said Pierluigi Collina, head of FIFA’s referees committee, adding that they were “encouraged” by the initial results.
