Rejected petition Ban VAR from every European competition

I want the government to speak to the FIFA and FA relevant authorities to permanently remove the use of VAR to ensure the game is played properly and fairly without any obstructions.

More details

I want the government to do this as I believe the game should be played fairly and enjoyed by everyone all around the world. Another reason is that when dodgy decisions go the way in favour of VAR people aren’t very happy at all and this causes riots and causes social media outrage from slandering players people and refereeing officials leading to death threats which no one should have to hear

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions about how to referee football matches are a matter for organisers and the football authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
