Unlike VAR, where a team of civil servants works from video cabins, FVS is managed by fewer staff members directly on the field. The most important innovation is that Coaches – no referees – will check when a review is activated.
Every coaching staff receives one green card To request an assessment, with a maximum of Two challenges per competition. These requests can only be used for specific game-changing incidents:
- Go
- Penalty decisions
- Direct Red Cards
- Wrong identity of players
If the challenge of a coach is successful, the team remains its remaining challenge. If not, it loses one of the two assigned reviews.
