FIFA president Gianni Infantino speaks on the closing day of the Football Talks conference

FIFA president Gianni Infantino was another one of the speakers invited for the last day of the Football Talks conference this week, adding his contribution to the dominant topic of technology in sport.

"After maybe 50 years, we have decided to test the Video Assistant Referee. I was skeptical at first and I was worried that it would interrupt the fluidity of the game, but that doesn't happen. Instead it helps referees to make the right decisions. We all know in a matters of seconds that a referee has made mistake when we are watching at home. Now we can help. We want to bring transparency and justice to football", said the FIFA leader, finishing: "We want to use the Video Assistant Referee at the World CUp. We are testing the system and in March 2018 we will make a definite decision. I feel really confident about it."
