Norwegian FA members vote to maintain VAR regardless of golf equipment voting to scrap it

March 3 – After months of rivalry, Norwegian soccer has voted to retain using VAR on the elite degree following the federation’s congress on Saturday. 

The Norwegian Soccer Federation’s normal meeting handed the movement to maintain the know-how with 321 votes in favour of protecting the know-how and 129 towards.

The end result represented a victory for the NFF and Lise Klaveness, who backed VAR after protests at Eliteserien video games, Norway’s elite division. These protests included throwing tennis balls and fishcakes on to the pitch.

The grassroots golf equipment which don’t use VAR swung the vote following the advice of the federation. In January, Norway’s top-flight golf equipment voted to scrap VAR, which the NFF launched two years in the past. Nonetheless, that very same month, the NFF board really helpful to maintain VAR.

Critics have argued that this was an influence play by Klaveness, who’s standing for a seat for UEFA’s government committee on the confederation’s congress in April. On the January board assembly, she learn out a letter from UEFA highlighting the significance of VAR.

Neighbouring Sweden has rejected using VAR.
