Virtual Assistant Referee (VAR) was founded in a friendly match between PSV Eindhoven and FC Eindhoven in the Netherlands on July 13, 2016. It is stated that "82 per cent of refereeing decisions were correct [before VAR]".[1] However, after the introduction of VAR "96 per cent of decisions go the right way. This shows how VAR has improved refereeing decisions to an almost perfect standard".[2]
