“Premier League clubs will vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season. The resolution formally submitted by Wolves to abolish the system will be on the agenda for the AGM on June 6. Any rule change requires a 2/3 majority (14 out of 20 members) to be adopted,” announced journalist David Ornstein on X (ex-Twitter).
VAR appeared in 2019, in the Premier League. As in many competitions, it was not unanimous, particularly this season with many errors in this current exercise in the English championship.
The Wolverampton club, behind the project, relies on certain arguments such as “a real impact on goal celebrations and on the spontaneous passion that makes football special, frustration and confusion in stadiums due to long VAR controls and poor communication or even a more hostile atmosphere with protests, booing at the Premier League anthem and chants against VAR.
