A majority of English Premier League clubs voted in favor of continuing to use the Video Assistant Referee system (VAR), the League announced Thursday.

Clubs and the Premier League also agreed that several improvements, such as fewer delays and interruptions to the flow of matches should be made for the benefit of the game and supporters.

English media reported that the Wolverhampton Wanderers made a counter offer against the use of VAR, but despite some clubs agreeing with some of the points made by the Wolves, they said that “abolishing the VAR would be counterproductive and damage the standing of the competition.”

The Premier League previously confirmed that Semi-Automated Offside Technology will be also introduced in the fall of 2024.
