The FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup will give us vital and important information about the qualities of match officials who have been appointed. We are very happy that VAR technology will be used for the first time in the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup as well.
“This event will be another great opportunity to showcase the skills of the appointed VARs and continue the development of our women’s VARs as part of the Road to Australia/New Zealand 2023 project,” she said in a statement to FIFA.
VAR technology supports the referee’s decision-making process in four game-changing situations: goals and offenses that lead to a goal, penalty decisions and offenses that lead to penalties, straight red card incidents, and mistaken identity.
During a match, the VAR team continually checks for obvious and obvious errors related to these four match-changing situations. The VAR team communicates with the referee only for obvious and obvious mistakes or serious missed incidents.
The U-17 Women’s World Cup in India will be the third FIFA women’s tournament to use VAR after the U-20 Women’s World Cup Costa Rica 2022 and the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019.
This will be the second time that the VAR technology will be used in India, the first being from the quarter-final stage of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup which was hosted in January-February this year.
The FIFA Referees Committee also announced the match officials for the tournament which included 14 female referees, 28 female assistant referees, three support referees and 16 video match officials.
