What is VAR in Football
The gist
VAR stands for Video Assistant Referee, a technology used in football to help referees review and correct decisions during a match.
Explain like I'm 5
Imagine if a referee in a game had a special video replay on a tablet to check if a call was right or wrong, so the game is fairer.
Big picture
VAR helps make football games more fair by reducing human mistakes in important decisions, which can affect the outcome of matches and the sport's integrity.
