English Football Expected To Trial Video Assistant Referees In FA Cup

FA Chief Executive Martin Glenn has announced that he expects to see the use of the new Video Assistant Referees system in the coming season’s FA Cup. He believes that VARs will benefit the game and is confident that the systems will function without any hitches.

“I am very happy that there is testing across the world that we can learn from so that when we apply it in English competitions we know that this is going to work” he told reporters.

Martin spoke after the International Football Association Board (IFAB), soccer’s global rule making body, announced a host of new measures that will be explored in the hopes of improving the game.
