Wolverhampton Wanderers’ motion that the league should abandon VAR was rejected by clubs, who voted 19-1 to keep it, with the league proposing a number of tweaks to the system instead.

Foremost among the measures will be the introduction in October of semi-automated offside technology, which is expected to reduce delays in decision-making that have disrupted matches. The league has also promised a new “fan and stakeholder communication campaign” to aid understanding of the purpose and use of VAR.
