Premier League clubs to vote on scrapping VAR

The Premier League has announced a major overhaul of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system for the upcoming 2024-25 season in order to address past controversies.

Despite being introduced in the 2019-20 season, VAR has been criticized for its involvement in controversial incidents.

As the new season commences this week, the Premier League has unveiled new measures to improve the system.

This includes the launch of a new account on X, offering “near-live” explanations of refereeing decisions.

“In the absence of live VAR audio being broadcast, as it is not permitted in football, the Premier League Match Centre will be able to relay on social media near-live information from the VAR Hub during a game,” the statement read in part.
