Premier League Clubs Vote 19-1 to Retain VAR, Implement Six-Point Plan
Jun 6, 2024, 12:38 PM
Premier League clubs have overwhelmingly voted to retain the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system for the upcoming season. The vote, which took place at the league's annual general meeting (AGM) in June 2024, resulted in a 19-1 tally, with Wolves being the only club to vote in favor of scrapping the technology. Despite widespread fan dissatisfaction, with two-thirds reportedly wanting the system abolished, the Premier League has committed to implementing a six-point improvement plan to address concerns. The league argues that removing VAR would lead to 100 more incorrect refereeing decisions per season. The proposed improvements aim to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the system, which has faced criticism over increased delays and controversial decisions.
