FIFA has unveiled an innovative Video Assistant Referee (VAR) challenge system, empowering football managers to directly request video reviews during matches using purple and blue cards. This groundbreaking initiative, termed Football Video Support (FVS), aims to enhance decision-making on the pitch while addressing concerns about game stoppages. Currently, the system is undergoing trials at the 2025 Under-20 World Cup in Chile and in various smaller leagues worldwide, offering a cost-effective alternative to full VAR technology for competitions with limited resources.
