Video reviews in volleyball are used to determine rule violations such as touching the net, penetration fault, and other controversial issues.

VAR (Video Assistant Referee) in volleyball was introduced in Russia at the playoff stage in 2012. Before the introduction of VAR in this sport, only the referee from the referees’ tower monitored the rules, and also made decisions, and so, some disputes arose.
