FIFA to Introduce Major VAR Change at 2026 World Cup

FIFA is set to implement a significant VAR rule change at the 2026 World Cup, expanding VAR checks to include corner kicks, despite facing opposition initially. The decision was made during a meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in October.
The new rule will allow VAR to review corner kicks and incorrect yellow cards. FIFA is determined to push ahead with this change, despite domestic leagues rejecting similar implementations.
