First six leagues chosen for VARs

As technology is going forward in our lives so does football as well. Video Assistant Referees (shortly known as VARs) system will appear in six leagues: Australia, USA, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands and Portugal. From next season these countries will conduct the experiment in their respective leagues and cups competitions. The VARs system will be divided into two subcategories: offline and online (live) experiments. As for the live trial is concerned, is not expected to start before 2017.
Whether the tests will be successful or not, in the last month of the year, the VARs system officialy will make its debut in the FIFA the Club World Cup in Japan.
Both subcategory experiments are expected to potentially run from 2018 or 2019.
