The governing body began evaluations of video assistant referee updates after wrong VAR rulings tarnished the event, notably Switzerland’s erroneous red card for a player. That error involving a challenge, where VAR mixed up the offender’s identity, drew strong criticism from pundits. The European body also said it would drop VAR for calls on simulation at the event, over confusion under the revised system’s guidelines. Such blunders in key matches have pushed FIFA and IFAB to overhaul VAR procedures to prevent similar problems in future games.
