Football Rulemakers Review VAR, Plan 'Vinicius Law'

Football's lawmaking authority, the Ifab, announced a two-year review of the video assistant referee (VAR) to ensure the technology is being used "to its best." The review comes alongside several rulebook enhancements before the World Cup finals, including expanding VAR's use to determine corner kicks and allowing checks on second yellow cards.

Another significant proposal aims to fast-track punishments for players obscuring their mouths, following the alleged racist abuse of Vinícius Júnior by Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni. The "Vinicius Law" could be implemented for this summer's tournament if approved.
