VAR: Fifa adota medida inédita em França x Marrocos pelas quartas de final
FIFA will implement an unprecedented measure for the match between France and Morocco, which opens the quarter-finals of the World Cup this Thursday (9). According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, two members of the video refereeing team will be positioned at the stadium in Boston to prevent possible technical failures during the match.
Traditionally, VAR operations take place at the International Broadcasting Center (IBC), in Dallas, where the competition's video room operates. This time, however, Uruguayan Leodán González, the VAR (video assistant referee), and Nicaraguan Tatiana Guzmán, the substitute VAR, will remain at the match venue.
A iniciativa, conforme o veículo espanhol, cria um plano de contingência para casos de perda de conexão entre o estádio e a sala VAR. If there is any technical problem, the two professionals will be able to support bid reviews directly from Boston, following the protocols established by FIFA.
Failure prevention and regulations
Also according to Mundo Deportivo, the entity opted for the change because the regulations do not allow the interruption of a match due to failures in VAR technology. A presença do a VAR e do a VAR suplente no estádio busca minimizar esse risco em um confronto decisivo do torneio.
Arbitragem e sequência do torneio
A arbitragem da partida também contará com maioria argentina. Facundo Tello será o árbitro principal, com Juan Pablo Belatti e Gabriel Chade nas assistências. Darío Herrera atuará como quarto árbitro, Cristian Navarro será o quinto árbitro e Hernán Mastrangelo comandará o VAR.
Whoever advances in the duel between France and Morocco will face, in the World Cup semi-final, the winner of the clash between Spain and Belgium.
