VAR, which allows match referee to review decisions on a pitchside monitor or by consulting an assistant who monitors the game on a video, has been trialed in a number of competitions over the past year. Football's law-making body IFAB is expected to decide on Saturday whether to authorize its use on a permanent basis and Infantino has said that, if VAR is approved, FIFA will use it at this year's World Cup in Russia. "We have to base decisions on facts and not feelings," Infantino said on the sidelines of the UEFA Congress.
The technology has proved controversial, especially in Italy's Serie A, where there have been cases of penalties being revoked after a wait of several minutes or goals being disallowed for minor infringements after similar delays.
However, Infantino feels controversy will always surround football in Italy, saying it is simply the culture of the fans to blame someone or something after the game.
