Will there be VAR at the 2025 Women's Euros?

The 2025 Women's Euros takes precedence this summer as 16 teams from across the globe compete for glory in Switzerland.

England Women look to defend their 2022 Women's Euros crown as they head to Switzerland for the 2025 tournament.

Eight-time champions Germany will be hoping to bounce back from their 2022 final defeat and go one further to claim their ninth crown.

Poland & Wales will be hoping for a strong showing in their maiden Women's Euros appearance.

Will VAR be used at the 2025 Women's Euros?

The exact same technologies used at Men's UEFA EURO 2024 will also be implemented at Women's EURO 2025.

VAR (Video Assistant Referee) will be in operation.

The VAR system will operate in the same way as other major football competitions, where it is only utilised in high-impact scenarios.

Should the VAR team recognise a possible mistake from the referee, they can flag it to the official, who then has the choice of sticking with their original decision, accepting VAR's recommendation without review or conducting a reevaluation of the incident with the help of a pitchside monitor.

Will semi-automated offside technology be used at the 2025 Women's Euros?

Semi-automated offside will be in use during Women's Euro 2025.

The semi-automated system was introduced to the UEFA Champions League in 2024/25 before the Premier League rolled out the technology in April and has also been in use at the FIFA Club World Cup.

Utilising a number of cameras which track the exact movement of the ball as well as 10,000 data points on the bodies of all 22 players, the system was designed to make tight offside calls easier to determine for officials.
