The Premier League has decided not to increase VAR's powers, The Guardian reports.. Let us recall that in winter the International Football Association Board (IFAB) approved the possibility of VAR intervention in cases of second yellow cards and corners. However, the new rules are not mandatory for national leagues. Each league decides whether to use these innovations. The Association of Referees (PGMO) has recommended that the Premier League not expand the powers of VAR. The organization believes that this will only increase the duration of matches and create additional pressure on the referees. Most English clubs also spoke out against it, as they are confident that this will lead to prolongation of matches and disruption of the tempo of the game.. The final decision of the Premier League will be made in June at the annual meeting. It was also previously reported that Chelsea had drawn up a shortlist of coaches. UEFA has decided on the referee for the Champions League final. News on Telegram and WhatsApp. Subscribe to our channels https://t. me/korrespondentnet and WhatsApp Author: 1.
