At least 19 Premier League teams showed their support on Thursday for the continuation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system into the next season.
A minimum of 14 votes in favor from the 20 clubs was necessary for any changes to be implemented. The decision was made following a proposal by Wolves to cease the use of VAR.
During the meeting on Thursday, all 20 top-flight clubs agreed to focus on six key areas for improving the implementation of VAR. These include raising the threshold for technology intervention and reducing game delays.
