Premier League Clubs to Vote on Abolishing VAR Next Season, Proposal by Wolves on June 6
May 15, 2024, 05:05 PM
Premier League clubs are set to vote on a proposal to abolish the video assistant referee (VAR) system from the start of next season. The proposal, formally submitted by Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves), will be on the agenda at the league's annual general meeting on June 6. For the rule change to pass, it requires a two-thirds majority, meaning 14 out of the 20 Premier League clubs must vote in favor. The Premier League has released a statement opposing the abolition, citing an increase in correct decisions from 82% to 96% since VAR's implementation. Wolves argue that VAR negatively impacts goal celebrations and causes frustration and confusion due to lengthy checks. The story was first reported by David Ornstein, and it remains to be seen whether clubs will consult their head coaches, players, or fans before deciding their votes.
