FIFA to Trial Coach ‘Green Card’ Challenges and FVS at U-20 World Cup in Chile

Coaches will control up to two reviews via a visible green card under a simplified sideline monitor system meant to cut costs.

Overview

  • FIFA confirmed it will replace VAR with Football Video Support at the 2025 U-20 World Cup, using a pitchside monitor and a review operator instead of a full video booth.
  • Each team receives two coach-initiated reviews per match, requested immediately by showing a green card to the fourth official, with successful challenges retained.
  • Requests are limited to the four VAR-style categories: goal or no-goal situations, penalty decisions, direct red cards, and cases of mistaken identity.
  • Pierluigi Collina described FVS as a lower-cost tool designed for competitions with limited cameras and personnel, extending video assistance beyond elite leagues.
  • The Chile tournament, which kicks off September 27, is a formal trial following youth and futsal pilots, and reporting indicates all goals will be reviewed under the protocol.
