Championship clubs reject bringing in VAR next season

Championship clubs had been asked to consider bringing in the challenge system of VAR for next season

Championship clubs have turned down the chance to introduce a version of the video assistant referee system for next season.

Football Video Support (FVS), a variation of VAR which needs fewer resources and gives each coach two reviews per game, could have been brought in from August.

Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) gave a presentation at the EFL's annual meeting last month.

The EFL subsequently canvassed feedback but it was clear clubs were strongly against any kind of video review system in the Championship.
