The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has been slow to modernize the Laws of the Game, but video replay technology is on the docket for integration with soccer’s rules and regulations - and the New York Red Bulls are on the bleeding edge of the discussion.
Last month, MLS and IFAB conducted a workshop at Red Bull Arena focusing on the use of video assistant referees (VAR). This experiment featured VAR in a live test for the first time.
Now IFAB, USL, and MLS have decided to test this replay technology at Red Bull Arena during five New York Red Bulls II matches.
