Description

VAR was introduced to help referees correct clear and serious mistake, but getting here took years. 👀⚽ From Maradona's infamous “Hand of God” goal to countless controversial decisions, fans increasingly demanded technology in football. FIFA initially worried VAR would slow matches down and interfere with referees, but after testing it in real matches, the system was eventually introduced. 🎵 Background Music: Bakar – Hell N Back (Instrumental) IG: @goal.fund
