The newly elected FIFA president Gianni Infantino advocates for the use of video replays during matches in the near future. The head of the organization uniting world football associations was elected last Friday and this weekend he will meet with the International Football Associations Board (IFAB), which establishes the rules of the game. However, Infantino assures that even with the use of more technologies, every effort will be made to maintain the current form of football. "Football is a special game," the president spoke in an interview with FIFA. "It is the most beautiful and most important sport in the world. We don't need to destroy it. One of the exceptional features of football is the constant flow of the game. Unlike many other sports, it doesn't stop when a little time is needed to review video footage." "Football is characterized by its flow and by the referee making important decisions. Therefore, we need to see what impact technology will have on this flow. It is better to start serious tests sooner rather than later."
