Collina Defends VAR Judgments in Egypt-Argentina World Cup Clash
FIFA’s chief refereeing officer Pierluigi Collina defended the VAR decisions in the Egypt–Argentina World Cup 2026 match, saying VAR can intervene for fouls in the build-up even when not obvious and that there is no fixed distance or time limit for checks; he cited the Marwan Attia foul and asserted VAR’s guidance to referees aims for consistency, acknowledging some subjectivity but overall satisfaction with its application.
