UEFA Launch Online Platform to Help Improve VAR Standards
The public guide uses more than 100 clips and eight years of cases to show when VAR should intervene.
- On Monday, UEFA launched the 'Clear Line' platform, a public guide designed to demystify Video Assistant Referee intervention criteria for players, coaches, fans, and journalists.

- This initiative establishes a consistent technical language for interpreting the Laws of the Game, addressing a need identified by former players, coaches, and journalists.
