Fifa is evaluating the development of a "simplified" and more "affordable" Var to be distributed "at all levels of football".

The "Innovation and Excellence" working group of the world football organization, Fifa itself informed in a note, met for the last time on 27 October last by videoconference and will soon present both to the federation and to the IFAB, guarantor of the rules of the game, a recommendation for the implementation of this reform. 

The goal, explains Fifa, is to devise more affordable referee video assistance systems and allow their use at all levels of football.

The working group identified variable cost factors, talked about the potential decrease in quality and the minimum requirements for such a technological setup.

In addition, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the French Football Federation (Fff) and UEFA have provided the working group with offline test results with more cost-effective Var technology.

Fifa then made it known that "the development of a semi-automated technology for offside is being evaluated in order to make the process of analyzing these situations as efficient as possible".

The market was urged to find a technology that would allow them to better visualize the "difficult to judge offside" with the Var. Three suppliers would be interested in the next phase of development, which had to be postponed due to the pandemic, but should be concluded Next year.

The purpose of this development phase is to further improve the algorithms of systems based on a collection of data from hundreds of different offside cases.
