It was also the first World Cup to use the video assistant referee (VAR) system. The finals involved 32 teams, of which 31 came through qualifying competitions, while the host nation qualified automatically. The final took place on 15 July at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, between France and Croatia.
