A sequel during the football European Championship in England has been the VAR decisions and the subsequent criticism directed at Uefa.

Situations that were directly match-deciding have been questioned by, among others, SVT's expert Jonas Eriksson, who thinks the cameras were too few and the angles incorrect. 

And now Eriksson sees a new challenge ahead of the upcoming World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next summer: a requirement from Fifa that all video assistant referees at the championship must be women. 

"The best thing would be to exchange skills"

Today, basically all video referees in the VAR room are men, according to Jonas Eriksson, who thinks a year is far too short a time for the change.

- I think it is obvious to bring in women who judge, it is very important.

But to go to 100 percent to do it in a year, when today it is zero percent.

The best thing would be to exchange skills from men over a longer period of time.

Begins to apply in the U20 World Cup in August

Nilla Fischer also reacts to the short space of time.

- It must take place over time with a planned time frame.

So it will be good for the referees - but also for the players and for football, she says in SVT's EC broadcast.

According to information on Fifa's website, the requirement will also apply when the U20 World Cup is arranged in Costa Rica this August.

It will be the first time VAR is used at the U20 Women's World Cup and Fifa writes on its website that all video referees at the championship will be women.
