Norwegian soccer has opted to retain VAR in its top league after a vote revealed strong support, with 321 votes in favor compared to 129 against. This decision comes amid controversy surrounding its introduction in 2023, as some clubs felt their voices were sidelined before the official vote. Protests from fans were noted due to long review times. Despite criticism, proponents argue that VAR enhances fairness by minimizing human error in officiating. The outcome may influence VAR discussions in other leagues, reinforcing the technology's place in the sport.
Supporters of VAR say that it reduces human error and makes the game more just.
The motion to retain VAR passed with 321 votes in favor to 129 for scrapping the technology that is used by most major competitions.
