Hi Ngo Hung,
The fourth official is the person who helps the referee. He helps when there is a substitution and shows how many extra minutes to play at the end of the match.
Hope you enjoy our website!

That's a really good idea. We will definitely discuss it more when it's introduced in the Premier League.
We do have a blog all about VAR if you want to read it. There is a lot of VAR related vocabulary, too!
