FIFA Approves Semi Automated Offside Technology to be Used At World Cup Qatar 2022
According to a report, FIFA has recently announced that the new semi-automated offside technology will be used at the FIFA World Cup 2022.
At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the cutting-edge Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system was unveiled. FIFA has announced that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will see the debut of semi-automated offside technology.
The video match officials will now receive an alert from a system known as "semi-automated offside technology," which will help the referees make offside decisions. For both stadium attendees and viewers of the broadcast on television, a 3D modelling graphic will also be shown.
With the new technology, 12 specialised tracking cameras are put beneath the stadium's roof to track the ball and up to 29 individual player data points, 50 times per second, determining their precise location on the field.
