Mini VAR

Portable Mini VAR system for football and amateur sports

Mini VAR is a video assistant referee system for amateur football and other sports. All hardware fits in one purpose-built case and is set up quickly on site without disrupting the match schedule. The VAR team replays incidents from several camera angles, talks to the head referee over headsets, and the head referee makes the final call.
