Pierluigi Collina, chair of Fifa’s referees committee, supports using VAR for corner kick decisions at the next World Cup. He stressed any implementation must not cause delays, stating his primary goal is to ensure correct decisions are made to avoid controversial outcomes in major competitions.
Separately, Fifa’s chief of global football development, Arsène Wenger, has tipped France as the “super-favourite” for the tournament. Wenger cited their incredible depth of world-class attacking talent as a key advantage over other nations, including England, who he believes have the quality but must overcome their history.
