Dutch referee Rob Dieperink has been removed from the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) team for the upcoming World Cup by FIFA. The decision comes after Dieperink was arrested in London in April as part of an investigation into allegations of sexual assault against a minor. Although no charges have been filed against him, FIFA has taken this disciplinary action.
According to reports from The Athletic, Willy Delajod will be taking over Dieperink’s role.
