Sweden sees itself as ‘leader’ over its rejection of VAR – Malmo chief executive

Sweden sees itself as a “leader” rather than in danger of being left behind over its rejection of VAR, the chief executive of reigning champions Malmo has said.

The country’s top flight, the Allsvenskan, is the only one of Europe’s top 30 ranked leagues not to use VAR as Sweden’s clubs oppose its introduction.

Wolves forced a vote on scrapping VAR at the Premier League’s annual general meeting in the summer, but the league’s other 19 clubs voted to keep it.
