VAR won't be used for FA Cup third round fixtures

The FA Cup third round matches will not utilize the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system, except for games played at Premier League stadiums where VAR is already in use. This decision was made to maintain fairness and consistency across all matches, as not all clubs competing in the FA Cup have access to VAR technology. The FA has stated that this approach ensures that the competition remains equitable for all teams involved, regardless of their league status or technological capabilities. This ruling applies to the third round only, with potential reintroduction of VAR in later stages of the competition.
