  1. No VAR for these games feels rather poor from UEFA, especially considering the controversies last season. Are they uncomfortable with using male VARs for these games, and therefore they're waiting?

    1. Its consistent with women's domestic football though. Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't think of a single domestic womens league that uses VAR

    2. They use male VAR's in the knockout. If i had to guess VAR isn't in the group stage because of the size of some of the stadiums.

  2. VAR will be used since knockout stage, you are right. Not related to tiny stadiums, as system can be deployed even at playground.
