VAR has been introduced to five-a-side football in a bid to correct bad decisions, blatant cheating and to ‘make the small sided game even longer than ever’, Goals can exclusively reveal.
The new technology is called ‘Refersee’ and requires the match official to wear a head protector with two cameras on either side. It feeds a live stream to your iPad so you can check every kick of the ball and every tackle. All it requires is a wireless connection.
The footage also streams back to Goals’ brand new data centre in Slough, where the Game Xtender team can review footage and vote on a decision with just one touch of a button.
