Premier League clubs will vote on whether to scrap video assistant referees (VAR) from next season at their annual general meeting next month.

Wolves have formally submitted a resolution to the Premier League which will trigger a vote when the 20 member clubs meet in Harrogate on 6 June.

The club said VAR was introduced in good faith but has led to numerous unintended negative consequences that are damaging the relationship between fans and football.

VAR was introduced in 2019 to help support on-field officials with key match decisions, but there have been a number of controversial incidents involving the technology this season.

The price we are paying for a small increase in accuracy is at odds with the spirit of our game, read a Wolves statement.

The Premier League said it acknowledged the concerns about VAR but fully supports technology and will continue to work with referees body PGMOL to make improvements.

Any rule changes need a two-thirds majority “ 14 of of the 20 clubs “ to vote in favour.

Premier League clubs have already voted for semi-automated offside technology to be introduced for the 2024-25 season.

A number of Premier League managers have been critical of VAR and of refereeing standards this season, including Wolves boss Gary ONeil.

ONeil was given aone-match touchline banin April for his conduct near the referees room after a game against West Ham, which saw Wolves have a late equaliser disallowed following a VAR check.

Wolves chairman Jeff Shi also questioned the role of VAR after the West Ham game and said the club would be higher in the table if it wasnt for a number of incorrect or contentious decisions.

One of the most high-profile VAR mistakes to date isLuis Diazs goalthat was incorrectly disallowed for offside for Liverpool at Tottenham in October.

The Premier League said the incident highlighted systemic weaknesses in the VAR process and that key learnings and immediate actions were taken. (Agency Report)
