FIFA officially published the list of match officials (referees, assistant referees, and video assistant referees) who would officiate at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.[1]
After VAR reviews, the referees at the tournament gave explanations that were broadcast in the stadium and on television as part of a year-long trial of the technique intended to give more transparency to often-controversial decisions. Other sports with video referees already used the measure, with FIFA also having implemented it at the 2022 FIFA Club World Cup and 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[2]
