Football coaches will be twirling their fingers in the air and handing out their own cards in the Australian Championship knockout matches this weekend as part of a global trial for a new lightweight video review system designed for leagues without the resources for a full VAR deployment.
The Football Video Support (FVS or VS) system has been trialled at junior tournaments and at lower leagues in Malta, Spain and Italy but if the implementation is successful in Australia, the coming weeks could pave the way for its use in the A-League Women finals this season.
