The
move
to
introduce
further
advancements
in
the
VAR
process
for
this
year’s
showpiece
tournament
has
been
ongoing
over
the
past
few
months.
Following
trials
at
the
Arab
Cup
and
Club
World
Cup,
the
fresh
processes
–
which
can
cut
VAR
decision-making
from
70
seconds
to
25
seconds
–
is
set
to
be
implemented
in
the
Gulf
State
in
November.
Collina,
a
former
World
Cup
final
referee
when
he
took
charge
of
Brazil’s
win
over
Germany
at
Korea/Japan
2002,
says
the
time
is
now
to
bring
in
semi-automated
technology,
which
will
further
enhance
decision-making.
“We
are
very
positive.
It
is
ready,”
he
stated.
“I
read
about
robot
referees.
I
understand
this
is
very
good
for
headlines,
but
it
is
not
the
case.
“The
match
officials
are
still
involved
in
the
decision-making
process.
The
semi-automated
technology
only
gives
an
answer
when
a
player
is
in
an
offside
position
when
they
play
the
ball.
“The
assessment
of
interfering
with
an
opponent
and
seeing
if
a
handball
or
foul
was
committed
remains
at
the
discretion
of
the
referee.
Our
goal
is
to
get
referees
taking
decisions
correctly
on
the
field.
“If
something
wrong
should
happen,
the
referee
may
take
advantage
of
the
technology
to
get
a
better
vision
of
what
happened
–
but
there
will
still
be
room
for
discussion.”
