Written by Oluwaseun Oyediji
Things in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) are about to change.
More Details
The league has partnered with Hawk-Eye, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) provider for Major League Soccer (MLS), to implement the first-ever VAR system for a women’s domestic league.
VAR allows for the review of certain calls, including goals, penalties, and red cards.
It requires six camera angles, as well as extensive referee training.
