“We are talking about it, this is an issue being discussed in various meetings, including one we are having today,” Uva told Sky Sport Italia.

“We know that we are at a point of no return, VAR will be introduced sooner or later, but we must do it when there is a sufficient number of referees and Federations prepared to cover the competition.

“If it’s the entire tournament or even part of it, that is something we still need to decide, but I think investment in VAR is inevitable and we’ll see it soon.”
