Premier League referees to explain Video Assistant Referee, VAR, decisions to fans…
The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have given approval for Premier League referees to explain Video Assistant Referee, VAR, decisions to fans inside the stadium from next season.
This follows a green light from IFAB’s lawmakers, IFAB for officials to explain VAR decisions to fans during matches in a significant change.
According to Mail Sport, IFAB has approved match officials to offer explanations in league fixtures following successful trials in Mexico and Portugal.
A confirmation is expected before their AGM in March.
Premier League referees’ chief, Howard Webb, has been a strong advocate of greater transparency since joining PGMOL in 2022.
Webb is also in support of officials being able to communicate their decisions to fans in stadiums.
Despite this change there are no plans to broadcast conversations between the referee and other match officials during matches, although that audio will be available to broadcasters to use after games.
