During their upcoming annual general meeting next month, Premier League clubs will vote on whether to continue using video assistant referees (VAR) from next season.
This decision follows Wolves’ formal submission of a resolution, which will prompt a vote among the 20 member clubs when they gather in Harrogate on 6 June.
The club expressed concerns that VAR, introduced in 2019 to assist on-field officials, has resulted in unintended negative consequences that are damaging the relationship between fans and football.
Despite its initial purpose, there have been several controversial incidents involving VAR this season.
“The price we are paying for a small increase in accuracy is at odds with the spirit of our game,” read a Wolves statement.
The Premier League said it “acknowledged the concerns” about VAR but “fully supports” technology and will continue to work with referees’ body PGMOL to make improvements.
