VAR Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was introduced in the summer of June 2016, during an international friendly match between Italy vs France. Its first use during a “professional” competition occurred in 2017 during a Confederations Cup match. The job of a VAR is to allow and disallow goals. The way it knows is because it has two sensors with cameras built in the goalpost and once the ball has crossed the line it sends an alert to the referee's smart watch confirming if it is a goal or not. That is main reason of use for the VAR.
