The 2018 World Cup will be the first time VAR is used in the tournament although it was tested in many leagues around the world as well as select FIFA events including the 2016 club WorldCup.
Busacca also explained why the VARs would wear the same uniform as thoe referees on the field, even though they’ll be in a control center. “They have to feel the game because they are going to make an interpretation in some situation, so they have to remember they are referees,” he said. “What’s the best way to remember you are a referee? To wear referee kit.
