The Premier League has decided not to use the new VAR technique to determine if a player is onside.
For the 2023–24 season, the Premier League will not alter how it use VAR, according to reports.
The present system has drawn a lot of criticism since it was first put into place in the English game. Fans and analysts have criticized important decisions made by officials, officials themselves, and referees in particular.

Only the clubs participating in the Champions League in the upcoming season will make use of the infrastructure and technology that up to nine top-tier clubs already have in place to support the new hawk-eye system.
According to reports, UEFA's semi-automated system now only uses cameras and limb-tracking technology instead of the previously employed microchip in the ball.
The chief refereeing officer, Howard Webb, is keeping an eye on tests being conducted about the use of the system.
