  • The Football Association has confirmed that VAR will only be implemented in this season's FA Cup from the fifth round onwards. This means that Leeds United's s third round tie at home to Harrogate Town on Saturday, January 11 will not feature the technology.

The Football Association (FA) has introduced a significant change to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system for the upcoming season, aiming to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of decision-making in football matches. This new rule allows referees to view a pitchside monitor for all on-field decisions, not just for "clear and obvious errors" as was previously the case. This adjustment means that referees can now review decisions like penalties, red cards, and goals more thoroughly, potentially reducing the controversy surrounding VAR decisions. The change comes after extensive consultation with clubs, managers, and players, reflecting a broader push towards transparency and fairness in the game. This initiative is part of a broader effort to refine VAR protocols, ensuring that the technology serves to improve the sport's integrity while maintaining the flow of the game.
