Is 5G Standalone Technology the Death of VAR? Leading Futurist Weighs In

Heading 1: VAR Controversy and the Potential Role of 5G Standalone Technology

VAR (video assistant referee) has been a topic of huge controversy in football since its introduction to the Premier League in 2019. The technology has been criticized for the contentious calls it makes and the lack of information provided to viewers during the decision-making process. However, a new report by Vodafone, in partnership with futurist Andrew Grill, suggests that the rollout of 5G Standalone (SA) technology could potentially eliminate the need for VAR while improving the accuracy of decision-making in football.
