Referees' Chief Webb Confident Of Improved VAR Standards In Ongoing PL Season

By IANS News October 17, 2024 • 17:34 PM View: 799

Professional Game Match Officials Limited: Howard Webb, chief refereeing officer at Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), said there has been significant improvement in video assistant referee (VAR) standards in the ongoing Premier League season.

It has been five years since VAR was introduced in the Premier League, yet the system continues to spark considerable debate. According to the Key Match Incidents (KMI) panel, there were 31 instances of incorrect VAR usage during the 2023-24 season.

In June, Premier League clubs voted 19-1 to retain VAR, following a push from Wolverhampton Wanderers to eliminate it. An independent survey commissioned by the league revealed that four out of five fans support keeping VAR in place.
