Norway rejected the advice of its clubs and decided to keep using VAR following a vote at the national congress on Saturday.
The motion to retain VAR passed with 321 votes in favour to 129 for scrapping the technology that is used by most major competitions since was formally introduced to the game in 2018.
The Norwegian soccer federation brought in video technology in 2023, but some found its introduction controversial because the decision was reached before Norway's member-run clubs could establish a unified position on whether they wanted VAR.
In January, 19 of 32 clubs from Norway's first and second tier voted to scrap VAR in the country's top division.
Fans also held protests after the first months of its adoption saw some review decisions taking a long time.
All clubs which are active members of the federation were eligible to vote, along with leaders of the federation's counties and members of the federation board. The vast majority of clubs eligible to vote aren't affected by VAR because the technology is used only in the top division.
If Norway had ditched the video review it would have become the first country to do so, and likely emboldened VAR critics in other countries.
Premier League clubs voted in June to continue using VAR by 19 votes to 1 after being asked to consider scrapping the technology following controversies last season.
Sweden is only leading country in Europe to have decided against introducing VAR to its league.
Supporters of VAR say that it reduces human error and makes the game more just.
