Infantino gives VAR thumbs up
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has given his whole hearted backing to the controversial video assistant referee technology. VAR, as it is known, has been trialled since the start of this season in Serie A and the Bundesliga, and will be introduced to Spanish La Liga next season. "The results so far have been very encouraging, very positive. Decisions which were taken wrongly have been altered to take the right decisions. Sometimes it takes a few seconds too long....but we are very positive and I am very positive that VAR will be a great investment into modern football. (It) can be used all over the world in order to help and assist the referees", Infantino told reporters in Dubai on Thursday. However, FIFA have yet to confirm whether the VAR will be used at next year's World Cup in Russia.
