REFEREES at the Club World Cup will announce the reason for VAR decisions to the audience in the stadium and at home, according to reports.
IFAB have authorised the trial, which will see referees mic’d up so spectators are made aware of their decisions, according to The Times.

The report also adds that a similar trial could take place at the Women’s World Cup in the summer.
Fans in stadia have so far been left in the dark over VAR checks, sometimes leading to confusion over what is being looked at.
But the change will allow spectators an insight into whether VAR officials are checking for offside, handball or other infractions.
