Rosetti acknowledged that achieving uniformity across leagues is challenging because each has its own interpretation of certain offences.
Handball, in particular, remains a persistent flashpoint across the sport.
Last season, the Premier League applied the most lenient standard, averaging one handball penalty every 17.27 matches.
Next came the German Bundesliga at 10.93 matches per handball penalty, followed by Spain’s La Liga at 10.56, Italy’s Serie A at 10.00 and France’s Ligue 1 at 9.27.
In the Champions League, a handball penalty occurred about once every seven matches—the highest rate in Europe—highlighting how difficult it is to establish consensus across competitions.
On its Clear Line platform, Uefa has posted numerous video examples to clarify what constitutes a handball offence.
Rosetti said the objective is to apply the laws more consistently.
He noted that perceptions in England differ and accepted that football is imperfect, so similar incidents may still be judged differently, but stressed that stakeholders are working together.
Use of VAR also diverges sharply between the Champions League and the Premier League.
In the 2025-26 campaign, the Premier League had Europe’s lowest intervention rate at 0.29 per game, compared with 0.47 per game in the Champions League.
Rosetti argued that reviews have become too frequent and that increased interventions are affecting player behaviour, encouraging attempts to engineer video decisions.
He said the aim is to return VAR to its original purpose, citing incidents like Diego Maradona’s 1986 “Hand of God” goal.
He added that they are no longer satisfied with the current application of VAR.
The intention, he said, is to scale back its scope and put referees back at the centre of decision-making.
