World Cup 2026: refereeing technology creates more disputes than it solves

At the 2026 World Cup, refereeing technology — VAR, ball sensors and cameras — is multiplying disputes rather than ending them. Sensors detect hair-touch contacts invisible to the human eye, while in other cases the same sensors register nothing; VAR in slow motion flags incidents no referee would call in real time. FIFA has failed to establish coherent rules for applying these tools, undermining the sense of footballing fairness.
