FIFA chief: ‘Turkey can host major football events’

ISTANBUL, TURKEY - FEBRUARY 15: FIFA President Gianni Infantino said Friday that Turkey could host major football events, including the World Cup. "Turkey can host major football events,” Infantino said as a news conference following a FIFA Executive Football Summit in Istanbul that saw the participation of 47 heads of federations across the world. He noted video assistant referees (VAR) has been implemented in about 50 countries. "Generally, VAR has been positive in Turkey, as well. There are mistakes. It is normal but, when we look at statistics of the World Cup, we can see that VAR is intervening only once in three games maybe one in two games in Turkey." (Footage by /Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
