FIFA began a review of video assistant referee updates after wrong VAR rulings marred the competition, with Switzerland’s erroneous red card for the striker. This case involving a challenge, where VAR misidentified the athlete’s identity, sparked strong criticism from coaches. UEFA also announced it would ban VAR for calls on simulation at the World Cup, citing confusion under the revised system’s protocols. The mistakes in important matches have led FIFA and IFAB to reassess VAR practices to stop similar problems in later games.
