Football Notes: K League To Implement VAR System From July 1

The K League said on Monday that a video review system will be implemented next month to "reduce refereeing mistakes and enhance the quality of matches." The league said that the VAR system will be adopted on July 1 in the K League Classic "after going through a three-month test." The Int'l FA Board approved the K League's test of the VAR system in March (YONHAP, 6/19).
