With
just one month to go to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, FIFA's
Deputy Secretary General (Football) and legendary Croatian player
Zvonimir Boban shared his memories and insights from playing at the
showpiece event, as well as how VAR is set to benefit referees, teams
and fans at the tournament kicking off on 14 June.
"I
can be as excited as I was in 1998 when, for the very first time in
the history of my country, we played a World Cup. If you are
defeated, or if you are a winner, it doesn't matter. You are playing
in a piece of history," said Boban. "You can't feel or see
it in other sports. All the world gathers in one place, with a
million different colours and an incredible passion for their teams
and players."
"The
philosophy of VAR is that we are searching for more fairness in the
game. Everything at this FIFA World Cup will be shown on screens in
the stadia: footage, clear wording. In terms of communications, this
will mean a lot for the fans."
