FIFA to use video replays to help referees at Club World Cup
ZURICH — FIFA says referees will be using video replays at this month’s Club World Cup in Japan to help them make “match-changing” decisions in its first ever use of TV feeds during a game.
FIFA says “an important piece of history will be made” when Video Assistant Referees are given access to all the broadcast TV feeds in an operations room – and can then communicate with the match referee on key decisions such as goals, penalty decisions and straight red cards.
