SYDNEY (Reuters) -The Australian Championship will trial FIFA's new Football Video Support (FVS), a slimmed-down version of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system, during its playoffs over the next few weeks, Football Australia said on Wednesday.

FVS has been developed by soccer's world governing body to meet demand from countries and leagues that do not have the financial resources to support VAR, which is now ubiquitous in international and elite club football.
