FIFA launched an assessment of video assistant referee modifications after incorrect VAR rulings marred the competition, notably Switzerland’s mistaken red card for the striker. That error involving a challenge, where VAR confused the player’s identity, prompted sharp criticism from experts and managers. UEFA also stated it would drop VAR for diving at the tournament, over confusion under the updated system’s rules. Such blunders in key matches have prompted FIFA and IFAB to overhaul VAR protocols to avoid similar problems in upcoming games.
