In what can be considered an extraordinary development in the officiating of the game, technology will be able to resolve contentious offside calls with a speed and accuracy unimaginable less than a decade ago. Using cameras strategically positioned around the stadiums, and a chip in the match ball, FIFA said the technology will go a long way to cutting down on continuous Video Assistant Referee (VAR) decisions on marginal offside calls and reduce the time needed to check. "We have been working on a more consistent use of VAR, in particular concerning the line of intervention," said Pierluigi Collina, chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee, at a news briefing.

Non-Muslim nations around the world, including Thailand, South Korea, and Brazil, have been eyeing the potential of the trillion-dollar global Halal market, yet despite the upsides, Vietnam has to take its shot at entering the industry, attendees said at a recent conference in Hanoi.
