Norway is on the brink of becoming the first nation to eliminate VAR from its football league system. In a recent vote, 19 out of 32 clubs in the top division supported scrapping video refereeing, prompting a necessary review by the Norwegian Football Federation (NFF). Fan dissent, highlighted by notable protests during games, has influenced this decision-making process. Although the NFF is anticipated to approve this change in March, there remains a possibility they could overrule the clubs' vote. VAR had been implemented in the Eliteserien in 2023, amidst widespread criticism and unrest from supporters.
