FIFA launched a review of video assistant referee updates after wrong VAR rulings overshadowed the tournament, including Switzerland’s mistaken red card for a player. This case involving a tackle, where VAR misidentified the athlete’s identity, sparked heated criticism from pundits. UEFA also stated it would exclude VAR for calls on simulation at the World Cup, due to confusion under the revised system’s rules. The mistakes in key matches have led FIFA and IFAB to reassess VAR practices to stop similar problems in later games.
