The English Premier League (EPL) will be different next season.

"The Premier League has introduced four new rules," the United Kingdom's 'United District' reported on April 18 (ET), explaining the new rules.

The Premier League will change next season. The first change is the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. VARs are a video assistant referee system introduced by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) to add fairness to soccer matches. It was officially introduced at the 2016 Club World Cup.

The Premier League has had a VAR system since the 2019-20 season. Even after the introduction of VAR, the Premier League has not been without controversy. Most recently, Hwang Hee-chan's club, Wolverhampton Wanderers, filed an official statement against the introduction of VAR.

There are six improvements that VAR will bring to the table It will maintain a high threshold for VAR intervention and reduce match delays. Fan interaction will also be improved, including announcements from officials in the stadium, more big-screen replays, and increased communication campaigns.

The Premier League and Premier League Referees' Organization (PGMOL) will provide more training for technical operational staff and continue to consult with the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to increase the flexibility of the Laws of the Game to allow for live video and audio presentations during VAR reviews.

Next up is the Semi-Automated Offside System. The Semi-Automated Offside Ticket (SAOT) is an offside call system introduced by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) to add fairness to 토토사이트 soccer matches. It was first used at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and in Europe, Serie A was the first to adopt it.

The Premier League will begin using it in the 2024-25 season. The semi-automated offside technology uses 12 tracking cameras under the stadium roof to recognize players' joint movements and read their movements to determine if they are offside.

Until now, the Premier League has used a "hawk-eye" system. Hawkeye, which is a manual line drawn by a human, has the disadvantage of delaying the game by more than two minutes, and it has also led to complaints about officiating because the position of the line varies depending on the angle of the camera.

Now, the Premier League is set to completely change the paradigm for offside. Unlike human VARs, the introduction of semi-automated offside will reduce the reading time from an average of 70 seconds to around 25 seconds, and it will also be more accurate because it will be done by AI.

Next up is the removal of embargoes for team news. The Premier League used to release lineups one hour before kickoff, but like European competitions, it will now release lineups 75 minutes before kickoff.

The winter break will also be abolished. The Premier League, like Serie A, has decided not to have a winter break next season. First introduced in the 2019-20 season, the winter break was a time for teams to recover after an intense first half of the season.

It helped teams, especially those in European competition, recover after playing a lot of games, but next season it will be eliminated. "After the Copa America and Euro 2024, players will have three consecutive weeks of rest in the summer," the English Football Association (FA) said.
