SPFL clubs to vote on introduction of VAR in April

0

The SPFL has confirmed a vote will take place on April 19 to determine whether or not VAR is introduced in the Scottish Premiership halfway through next season.

The vote comes six months after initial meetings were held to discuss the proposal, with former Premier League referee Howard Webb speaking about the benefits of technology with representatives.

On Monday, the SPFL circulated a resolution to its 42 member clubs, who will all be asked to vote on the implementation of VAR at the SPFL general meeting later this month.

To get the go ahead, the proposal must be agreed upon by at least 75 per cent of clubs from each of Scotland's four professional tiers.

Should the vote reach its target approval quota, the SPFL has earmarked a date following the conclusion of the Qatar World Cup to roll out the technology. The World Cup takes place between November 21 and December 18.

VAR was introduced to the English Premier League in 2019, with the aim of eradicating 'clear and obvious errors'.
