Uefa officials have invited representatives from major European leagues to a meeting regarding the current application of Video Assistant Referees. The summit follows recent criticism concerning what has been described as microscopic offside calls and a lack of consistency in decision-making across different competitions. European football's governing body intends to address how technology is used to ensure it does not disrupt the flow of the game, according to The Guardian.
Discussions will focus on the precision of line-drawing for offside and the threshold for VAR intervention in subjective fouls. According to Sky Sports, the meeting aims to align the interpretation of rules between domestic leagues and continental tournaments. This move comes amid growing pressure from managers and players who have raised concerns about the length of time taken to reach decisions during matches. Uefa has not yet confirmed the specific date for the gathering, but it is reported to be scheduled for later this month. No changes to the Laws of the Game are expected before the current season concludes.
