Overview
- Speaking at the UEFA Congress, Roberto Rosetti said football has forgotten VAR’s original purpose to fix clear and obvious errors.
- He stressed that technology excels on factual calls such as offside, while subjective incidents are prompting excessive interventions.
- Rosetti called for end‑of‑season and pre‑season meetings to deliver a single, consistent handball interpretation across Europe.
- League figures show the Premier League has the lowest VAR involvement this season at roughly 0.27 interventions per match, including 0.15 on‑field reviews.
- With IFAB set to discuss potential remit changes on 28 February, he warned against any expansion that delays restarts and voiced reservations about the proposed ‘daylight’ offside, slated for trials in Canada from April.
