FIFA may allow coaches to challenge VAR decisions
FIFA is seeking permission from the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to continue trials of the Football Video Support (FVS) system, according to ESPN.

“We are at the beginning of the trial and the experiences at both the U20 and U17 FIFA Women's World Cup will be carefully analysed but so far, we haven't noticed anything unexpected," Pierluigi Collina, the chairman of FIFA's referees' committee n,” said FIFA Referees Committee Chairman Pierluigi Collina.
