In recent years, the video review system VAR (video assistant referee) has been implemented and will be used during this summer's World Cup in Russia. This was announced by FIFA's Chief Commercial Officer Philippe Le Floc'h, who confirmed that this system will be used in this summer's global competition. "Undoubtedly, VAR will be used. This is a good technology that brings fairness to football," said P. Le Floc'h. The VAR system was first tested at the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup, and later used by referees in FIFA Confederations Cup matches. The first national league to announce the use of this system was the Australian league, later joined by leagues such as Serie A and Bundesliga.
