Premier League fans are celebrating a significant VAR rule change that has been approved. The English top-flight will implement semi-automated offside technology by the end of this year. In a meeting of top-flight teams on Thursday (April 11), clubs unanimously agreed to introduce the technology next season.
This change is expected to reduce the average length of a VAR check for offside by at least half a minute, with implementation likely between September and November. The response from fans has been positive, with one expressing that this change will improve the accuracy and speed of offside decisions.
