The governing body launched evaluations of video assistant referee updates after incorrect VAR calls marred the tournament, including Switzerland’s incorrect red card for a player. That error involving a challenge, where VAR misidentified the athlete’s identity, prompted heated criticism from pundits. The European body also announced it would drop VAR for diving at the World Cup, citing confusion under the updated system’s protocols. Such blunders in key matches have led FIFA and IFAB to reassess VAR protocols to stop similar problems in upcoming games.
