FIFA gives VAR green light for World Cup, lifts 30-year Iraq ban

• SPORT
• Saturday 17 March 2018 - 1:22am

President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, participates in a press conference in Bogota, Colombia, 16 March 2018. FIFA approved the use of VAR system (video arbitration system) at the 2018 World Cup in Russia during the sixth session of the FIFA Council meeting Photo: backpagepix

 

BOGOTA, Colombia - Video assistant referee technology (VAR) will make its debut at the World Cup in Russia this summer despite lingering opposition from within and outside football, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Friday.

"We are going to have in 2018, for the first time, a World Cup with VAR," said Infantino after a meeting of the FIFA Council which, as expected, rubber-stamped the go-ahead given by the rule-making International Football Association Board (IFAB) in Zurich two weeks ago.

"This has been approved and we are really very happy with this decision."

The World Cup, which takes place from June 14-July 15, will see VAR used to judge whether or not a goal has been scored, analyse whether a penalty should be awarded, decide on red cards and rectify if a player has been mistakenly sanctioned.

"What we want is to help and to give the referee the possibility to have extra help when he has to make important decisions, and in a World Cup we make very important decisions," added Infantino.

"It cannot be possible that in 2018 everybody, in the stadium or at home, knows in a few seconds if the referee has made a mistake but not the referee himself -- not because he doesn't want to know about it but because we forbid him to know.

"The VAR is helping the referee and we are going to have a more transparent and fairer game, and that's what we want."

VAR has been trialled since 2016 by 20 federations, including the German Bundesliga and Italian Serie A, with around 1,000 matches involved.

But it has not been universally welcomed with even UEFA, the European governing body, still to be convinced.

"Nobody knows exactly how VAR will work. There is already a lot of confusion," said UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, who insists that VAR will not be used in next season's Champions League.

"I am not at all against it but we must better explain when it will be used. We will see at the World Cup."    

One of the problems that dogs VAR, say its critics, is not the accuracy of its decisions but the time it takes to arrive at them.

It's a drawback which has left many fans and purists frustrated that the flow of a game is interrupted.

"The intervention of VAR takes one minute on average in each game. If we lose a minute to correct mistakes, I think we have done something good," said Infantino earlier this week on a visit to Lima.

30-year Iraq ban lifted

However, Colombia coach Luis Fernando Suarez added in an interview with AFP: "It seems hurried to me. I think we should do other trials in other tournaments, analyse them well, and then put it in place."

Suarez, who led Ecuador at the 2006 World Cup in Germany and Honduras in 2014 in Brazil, remains a fan in general of the use of technology in football, which he has witnessed close up.

That came in the 2014 tournament when his Honduras team played France in Porto Alegre when the first goal decided through GLT (goal-line technology) was awarded to France.

"It's good and necessary that there are changes but it's essential that we don't lose the essence of football," added Suarez.

Meanwhile, FIFA said it was lifting the three-decade ban on Iraq hosting international football with the cities of Arbil, Basra and Karbala given the go-ahead to stage official matches.

"We are allowing international matches to be staged in the cities of Arbil, Basra and Karbala," said Infantino

However, FIFA added that they cannot "yet" agree to a request from the Iraqi authorities to organise matches in the capital of Baghdad.

Iraq has not played full internationals on home turf since its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.

The ban, covering all but domestic matches, stayed in place after the US-led invasion of 2003 toppled dictator Saddam Hussein.

It was briefly lifted in 2012, but a power outage during an Iraq-Jordan match in the Iraqi Kurdish capital Arbil led FIFA to promptly reinstate it.

The FIFA Council also decided that Peru will host the 2019 Under-17 World Cup with Poland staging the Under-20 tournament.

Date of release: 2018/3/18 10:59 • 178 times read

(Baghdad: Al-Furat News) The national and Olympic coaches praised the decision of the International Federation of Football (FIFA) to lift the ban on Iraqi courts.

"The decision has great dimensions," said national team coach Bassem Kassem. "The games are against our fans, and our players adapt to the climate and reduce travel effort. 
"The decision also has economic and political benefits. The idea of football is an important factor for reviving the economy and politically uniting the world and bringing people closer. International matches will be an opportunity to convey a vivid picture of the world that the Iraqi people love life, enjoy football and live a normal state and security stability." 
He pointed out that "the decision is important and the Iraqi government to invest it through attention to infrastructure and the construction of other playgrounds." 
"We congratulate our public, which played a major role in the decision to lift the ban, because of its cultural encouragement, and we commend them for continuing their distinguished behavior, to lift the comprehensive ban and to support the capital Baghdad by embracing its brothers and friends."
For his part, the Olympic coach Abdul Ghani saw the decision as "the product of the diligence of institutions that worked hard to lift the embargo, and we congratulate them and the Iraqi public that dazzled the world in its presence and was a reason for the decision." 
He stressed that "playing in Iraqi stadiums is a real moral support for players, and therefore the decision will be a positive return in all competitions." 
He explained that "Iraq has the experience in organizing international matches, and now we have overcome an obstacle, and we trust in the ability of institutions to obtain a decision to lift the comprehensive ban in the coming days." 
The World Federation of Football (FIFA) decided on Friday to lift the ban on three Iraqi courts (Erbil, Karbala and Basra).
An international ban on international matches was imposed 28 years ago on the backdrop of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait in the summer of 1990. The decision remained in place after the fall of Saddam's regime because of the unstable security situation in Iraq. 
The decision to lift the ban on Iraqi stadiums is an important step and a clear indication that Iraq is regaining its role and presence in foreign forums, and the importance of that decision is even greater since it came a few months after the announcement of the final and comprehensive victory over the terrorist gangs in Iraq.

International football returns to Iraq on Tuesday, less than a month after FIFA lifted a three-decade ban on domestic matches.

In the 2018 AFC Cup group stage, the Lebanese team will travel to the city of Kerbala, about 100 km southwest of Baghdad, to face the Iraqi Al-Zawra team. 

In Group A, the Air Force team will host Bahrain's Al Malikiyah Club on April 17, also in Karbala. 

The international federation imposed a ban on Iraqi football in 1990 after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. And then lifted the ban temporarily in 2011, in the World Cup qualifying match between Iraq and Jordan in the northern city of Erbil, but quickly re-imposed the ban. 

The Iraqi Football Federation and the AFC have stepped up efforts to persuade FIFA to lift the ban. This helped the success of a February 28 match between Iraq and Saudi Arabia in the northern city of Basra, attended by 60,000 fans.

On March 16, FIFA agreed to lift the ban in Kerbala, Basra and Erbil, the safest cities in the country.

Iraq hosts first official game in years

 

9/4/2018 Now - Agencies 1:24:21 PM

The atmosphere of encouragement to Iraq on Tuesday from the gate of Karbala Stadium south of Baghdad, which receives the first international game for nearly two decades, after the decision of the International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) to allow the country to host official matches.

A few months after the announcement of the defeat of the Islamic State Organization, the Iraqi champions Al-Zawra host their newly crowned Lebanese crown in the AFC Cup first round.

The game will be an opportunity for Iraqis to encourage their clubs on their fields.

"The game tomorrow is not the only match for Al-Zawra, but a match for all the Iraqi teams that will bring their fans' links to Karbala to support," said Zawahra fan Aqil Adel al-Mandalawi.

"The audience is aware of his willingness to travel to all the provinces and cities of Iraq to support the team, so how now and the team launches' return matches.

Last March, the International Federation of Iraq approved hosting official international matches in the southern cities of Basra and Karbala and Erbil, the center of northern Kurdistan, in a move Iraqis have long awaited.

Last year, FIFA relaxed the ban imposed almost continuously since the 1990s to host official matches in Iraq, setting aside friendly matches on the stadiums of the three cities. FIFA has refused to ask for friendly matches in Baghdad.

- 'We are fed up with mobility' - 
Tomorrow's match is the first for Zawra in front of his fans and at home since 2002, and hopes to overcome the crown and participate in the top of Group B, before receiving Manama Bahrain on April 16 in a postponed meeting.

"We have waited a long time for this football event to be played by its supporters, we are tired of a lot of constant travel," said Al-Zawraa management and media spokesman Abdulrahman Rashid.

He added that 'the club was exhausted on the material level and the readiness of the players', considering that the fact that Zora is the first team to play an official match is the subject of 'pride' of the team.

Al-Zawra will have the advantage in the match, as he will be at the Karbala International Stadium, Iraq's second-best stadium after the Basra Stadium.

Karbala Stadium was built in 2015, at a cost of 116 billion Iraqi dinars (98 million dollars) and an architectural model that simulates European stadiums and can accommodate more than 30 thousand spectators, according to Director of the Department of Regions and Provincial Affairs of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Talib al-Musawi.

In addition to two stadiums for training, the first with 2,000 spectators and the second 500, the stadium has a modern four-tier hotel with 70 rooms.

The stadium will also be an addition to the Iraqi Air Force's AFC Cup matches against Bahrain's Al Maalikiya and Al Suwaiq on 17 and 24 April.

- Back to 'fun' - 
The audience Zora the most brilliant and presence in the Iraqi stadiums, which is a broad base of the team not limited to Baghdad, but extends to most of the provinces of Iraq from several generations have been associated with the memory of senior team stars such as former president of the club Ahmed Radi and his current president Falah Hassan.

The club's management provided 20 large buses to transport fans from Baghdad to Karbala, some 90 km south of the city, on the day of the match.

"We will restore the atmosphere of encouragement that was enjoyed by the matches when Al-Zawra was receiving the difference in the capital at Al-Shaab International Stadium," said Majeed Zourai, a 50-year-old player.

It is a young generation looking for a strong return to regional football.

"I have been encouraging the team for years and I have been watching its foreign contributions," said Ahmed Abdul Karim, a university student. Today we will see those teams in Iraq. This will give us pleasure and bring us back to football. '

KARBALA: Competitive international soccer returns to Iraq on Tuesday less than a month after FIFA lifted a near three-decade-long ban.
In the group stage of the 2018 AFC Cup, Asia’s second tier club competition, Lebanon’s Al Ahed will travel to the central Iraqi city of Karbala, located about 100 kilometers (62 miles) southwest of Baghdad, to take on Al Zawraa.
Soccer’s world governing body imposed the ban in 1990 after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. It was temporarily lifted in 2011 for a World Cup qualifier between Iraq and Jordan in the northern city of Irbil, but quickly reimposed after power outages.
With Iraq declaring victory over militant group Islamic State in December after more than three years of fighting, the Iraq Football Association and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) stepped up efforts to persuade FIFA to lift the ban. This was helped by a successful Feb. 28 exhibition match between Iraq and Saudi Arabia in the southern city of Basra that was attended by 60,000 fans.
On March 16 FIFA agreed to lift the ban in Karbala and Basra as well as Irbil, three cities seen as the safest in the country.
“This was a decision that the AFC actively supported and welcomes,” Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said in a statement on Monday.
 “I visited Basra in February for the 4-1 win against Saudi Arabia and I said then that the time had come for the lifting of the ban.” added Salman. “Now we have another considerable milestone with the return of AFC Cup matches to the country in the next few days.”
In earlier games in the tournament, Al Zawraa had played its home games in Qatar, a country that has played host, along with Jordan, to numerous Iraqi club and national teams over the years.
Al Zawraa is a Baghdad club but will have to wait to return to the capital. The city still witnesses militant attacks and is not yet deemed safe enough by FIFA to stage international games though the organization said it will continue to monitor the situation.
Al Zawraa could go top of Group B with a win. In Group A on April 17, Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya will host Malkiya of Bahrain, also in Karbala.
