Premier League clubs vote to keep VAR

By , June 6, 2024

The Premier League will continue to use video assistant referees (VAR) next season after Wolves were the only club to vote in favour of scrapping it at Thursday’s annual general meeting.

Wolves triggered a 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.

However, BBC Sport understands Wolves failed to gain support from other clubs in the top flight.
