Clubs in the English Premier League have voted by an overwhelming majority of 19-1 in favour of keeping video assistant referees (VAR) next season.
Wolves triggered a vote on the use of VAR in the 2024-25 season after formally submitting a resolution to the Premier League in May.
In order for VAR to be scrapped, 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs needed to vote in favour of scrapping it
But only Wolves voted in favour of the proposal as they failed to gain any support from other top flight clubs.
Wolves said they were “disappointed with the outcome of the vote” but welcomed the Premier League’s “commitment to improve VAR”.
The Premier League has come under increasing pressure to modify VAR, which was introduced at the start of the 2019-20 season.
Wolves listed nine reasons to support its proposal to ban VAR, including the impact on goal celebrations, hostility towards match officials and the length of time needed to reach decisions.
