The Video Assistant Referee for soccer will get its first tests in official matches this week during the KNVB Cup in the Netherlands, according to the Royal Dutch Football Association.
The referee on the field will be in contact with the video referee via headset when Ajax faces Willem II on Wednesday and also on Thursday when Feyenoord takes on FC Oss. The video referee can assist on calls including penalties, red cards and goals in dispute due to infractions or offsides calls.
