A HUD VAR display for referees, so that they don’t have to keep going to pitchside monitors to confirm VAR decisions.

HUD displays are an innovative concept, but they are unlikely to be used by referees, at least in the near future.

Heads-up displays, once reserved for fighter jets and vehicles in sci-fi movies, are quickly proliferating in common cars. I’ve now tested BMWs, Cadillacs, Mercedes-Benzes, Mazdas and more with information projected onto their windshields—and I have yet to experience a HUD I like.

The entire VAR system requires a complete overhaul! Some referees are even hesitant to use pitchside monitors.

Premier League referees are in "sheer panic" at how the video assistant referee system is being used, says Chris Sutton.

This could speed up VAR checks, which are currently taking too much time.

The Premier League has seen a fall in VAR errors this season, but chief football officer Tony Scholes says there must be a marked reduction in delays.
