Sweden Rejects VAR, Remains Only Top League in Europe Without System
Apr 26, 2024, 04:31 PM
Sweden has become the first country to reject the introduction of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) in its football leagues, following a vote by Swedish clubs. The decision was influenced by a majority of elite clubs, which have at least 51 percent fan ownership, actively opposing the system. This makes the Allsvenskan, Sweden's top football league, the only one among Europe's 30 highest-ranked leagues without VAR. The rejection was driven by concerns over the system's effectiveness and the desire to maintain fan influence in club decisions.
