MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A trial of video assistant referees may be used at the England friendlies, Chief Executive of the Football Association (FA) Martin Glenn said Monday.
On Saturday, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), comprising FIFA and football associations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, approved the use of video trials. According to the IFAB, the experiment to solve controversial incidents during football matches could begin no later than in the 2017-2018 season.
Glenn also revealed a plan to press for international matches hosted by the FA to be part of a two-year trial aimed at determining whether video assistance for referees would improve football, The Telegraph reported.
On Friday, newly-elected FIFA President Gianni Infantino said that he believed the use of video technology during matches was inevitable for football.
