Mark Bullingham, the Football Association's chief executive, opposes the expansion of VAR usage. He believes the current VAR system is adequate, causing enough interruptions during matches. He stated that the FA thinks the current state is satisfactory and does not require changes at this time. VAR is currently limited to key decisions like goals and penalties. Ifab has seen no formal proposals to expand VAR's remit, and some board members are expected to vote against any such motions in the upcoming annual meeting.
Mark Bullingham stated, 'We don't think there's any need to extend the use of VAR.' He believes the current model already causes sufficient disruptions during match play.
Bullingham explained, 'Of course if someone brings an item forward for Ifab to consider, then as a group we'll consider it. But as a group we don't necessarily think that VAR needs to be extended at the moment.'
The FA's current stance is to maintain the existing VAR use, which is limited to goals, penalties, red cards, and mistaken identity, asserting there are enough stoppages.
Sources indicate Ifab has not received formal proposals to raise VAR's scope, and there may be opposition from several board members if such a move is proposed.
