Wolverhampton Wanderers had previously put forward a motion to scrap VAR with immediate effect. It followed a string of contentious decisions against Gary O'Neil's team throughout the 2023/24 campaign.
Despite the pushback, at the Premier League's Annual General Meeting on June 6, the majority ruled in favor of keeping VAR, which has been part of the game since August 2019. After Wolves' proposal, the other 19 clubs - including Liverpool - all voted in favor of keeping the technology.
However, the Premier League has announced plans to enhance the technology for the betterment of the sport and its fans.

The official statement declared: "Premier League clubs today voted in favour of continuing to operate VAR in the Premier League. While VAR produces more accurate decision-making, it was agreed that improvements should be made for the benefit of the game and supporters."
The statement continued, outlining the collaborative effort for enhancement: "As part of thorough discussions at the Annual General Meeting, it was agreed that PGMOL, the Premier League and clubs all have important roles to play in improving the system and its reputation. As part of ongoing work to improve VAR, six key areas were focussed on as part of discussions with clubs:
Maintaining a high threshold for VAR intervention to deliver greater consistency and less interruptions to the flow of the game.
Reducing delays to the game, primarily through the introduction of semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) and the maintained high threshold for VAR intervention.
Improving fan experience through a reduction in the delays, in-stadium announcements from referees after a post-VAR change of decision and where possible, an enhanced offering of big screen replays to include all VAR interventions.
Working with PGMOL on the implementation of more robust VAR training to improve consistency, including an emphasis on speed of process while preserving accuracy.
Increasing transparency and communication around VAR – including expanded communications from Premier League Match Centre and through broadcast programming such as Match Officials Mic’d Up.
The delivery of a fan and stakeholder VAR communication campaign, which will seek to further clarify VAR’s role in the game to participants and supporters.
"It was confirmed in April that Semi-Automated Offside Technology will be introduced in the autumn of 2024. The technology will provide quicker and consistent placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking, and will produce high-quality broadcast graphics to ensure an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for supporters.
"The Premier League and PGMOL will continue to lobby IFAB to allow greater flexibility in the Laws of the Game to allow live video and audio broadcast during VAR reviews."
Liverpool also called for changes to VAR and its use back in September after Luis Diaz wrongly had a goal disallowed in a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Outgoing manager Jurgen Klopp declared he would get rid of VAR.
He said before leaving Liverpool: "I think they are voting about how VAR gets used because it is definitely not right. These people are not capable of using it properly. VAR is not the problem. I would vote for scrapping VAR the way it is."
