Premier League to explain VAR decisions on social media during matches

By Redoy K

The Premier League has launched a social media account, @PLMatchCentre, to provide near real-time updates and explanations on VAR decisions during matches. This initiative aims to increase transparency and reduce frustration with the VAR system, which faced significant criticism last season. The account will offer insights from the VAR hub and refereeing experts, as well as clarify the laws of the game. This move comes after teams voted to retain VAR in June despite widespread complaints. Reuters
