Article 56 Video support - Futsal Champions League

56.01

Video support (VS) may be used for the finals, in accordance with the FIFA Futsal Laws of the Game, for the purpose of assisting the referees.

56.02

No sources or systems other than the official VS system may be used by the referees to review replays during the match.

56.03

The referees shall use VS when a team’s head coach (or, in the head coach’s absence, a designated team official as stipulated on the match sheet) challenges a decision in relation to the following situations:

1. Goal/no goal

2. Penalty/no penalty

3. Direct red cards (not second yellow cards)

4. Mistaken identity

In addition, VS can be used at the referees’ discretion when there is a disagreement between the referees regarding an incident in one of the above-mentioned situations, as well as:

1. if the chronometer malfunctions;

2. if the chronometer is incorrectly (re)started/stopped by the timekeeper pursuant to the provisions of Laws 6 and 7 of the Futsal Laws of the Game;

3. to verify whether a goal has been scored;

4. to verify whether the ball entered the goal before the acoustic signal at the end of a period (notwithstanding the exception for periods extended to allow for the completion of penalty kicks or direct free kicks beginning with the sixth accumulated foul).

56.04

In the event of technical failure, matches may take place or continue without the use of VS. The non-use of VS for part or all of a match, whether due to the referees' decision or technical failure or unavailability, in no way prejudices the validity of the referees' decisions, which are final in all cases.
