The EFL will continue their trial of in-stadium VAR announcements at the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley next month, according to the Daily Mirror.

The trial was first carried out during Carabao Cup semi-final ties between Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Newcastle.

However, it's a move that will disappoint Reds boss Arne Slot, who described the announcements as 'necessary' following those semi-final ties.



The Dutchman also raised concerns that addressing the crowd could lead to officials receiving more abuse if supporters did not agree with the decisions, putting them under further scrutiny for the rest of the game.

In-stadium VAR announcements were trialled at the Club World Cup and Under-20 World Cup before being used for the first time at a major tournament during the Women's World Cup in 2023.

"For me it is not necessary to announce things.
