It looks like VAR (video assistant referees) is here to stay with some modifications to the system for the coming season. The Premier League clubs voted by 19-1 in favour of keeping VAR next season, with Wolves being the only team to vote against it as they failed to gain any support from other teams.
Wolves asked for the vote on the use of VAR in the 2024-25 season after formally submitting a resolution to the Premier League in May. In order for VAR to be scrapped, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs needed to vote in favour of doing so. Wolves had listed 9 reasons to support it's proposal to ban VAR., including the impact on goal celebrations, hostility towards match officials and the length of time needed to reach decisions. One of the improvement’s will be the for a in-game announcements, which were used during the 2023 women's World Cup, will see referees explain the VAR decision to supporters in the stadium.
The Premier League has come under increasing pressure to modify VAR, which was introduced at the start of the 2019-20 season.
