BOGOTA — FIFA has finally and fully approved video review to help referees at the World Cup. We need to live with our times.” FIFA will now look to sign a World Cup sponsor for video assistant referees (VAR) at the June 14-July 15 tournament. That move still left competition organizers to opt to use video review in their games, and FIFA's ruling committee had to sign off on the World Cup decision. A total of 36 referees, plus their teams of assistants, are being trained by FIFA for World Cup duty and many come from countries which do not use video review in domestic games. For the 2019 editions, FIFA picked Poland to host the men's under-20s and Peru the Under-17 World Cup.
