Following the successful implementation of Video Support (VS) at the previous tournament in Lithuania in 2021, VS will be used again with an additional four cameras covering the touchlines to help match officials make decisions.
The referees have been undertaking online training sessions since the start of the year with the aim of increasing uniformity on key topics, and these will continue ahead of a pre-competition seminar in Uzbekistan from 4 to 13 September with the tournament kicking off the following day.
Matches will be played in three Host Cities, Andijan, Bukhara and Tashkent, with one of the 24 competing teams crowned world champions after the final in the capital on 6 October. Click here to access the Match Schedule.
