 VAR will be used in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Europe, starting from September 2022, UFO said on Thursday. The light-touch use of VAR at Euro 2020 was widely praised and UFO will hope those standards are maintained in the qualifiers for Qatar, with the group stages concluding in November. Unlike the Euros, where the VARs were based away from the matches at UFO's Neon headquarters in Switzerland, the technology will be implemented on the site of the stadium hosting each qualifier. UFO had hoped to introduce VAR into this national team qualifying competition soon, but the logistical difficulties caused by coronavirus forced it to delay.
