FIFA World Cup: Automated offsides considered for Qatar World Cup 2022

Offsides have been a prickly topic for many years and now it seems that new technology will be trialed at the FIFA World Cup 2022. Pierluigi Collina, FIFA's chief refereeing officer and a former referee himself, has explained the plans behind semi-automated offsides, which will use between 10 and 12 cameras to aid judges and linesmen in making offside results.

VAR has had a very progressive impact in football and the number of major faults is reduced, then there are areas where it can be better, and offside is one of them, Collina told La Gazzetta Dello Game. We are alert the process to check offsides can take longer, particularly when it is very tight. We are also aware that the placing of the lines may not be 100 percent precise.

"For this motive, FIFA is evolving a technology which could offer earlier and more precise answers. This is identified as semi-automated offside."

Collina was also very rich that the role of an arbiter will not be made jobless, despite the progress of this new technology. For more to know about Qatar World Cup Tickets Click here.

"For offside, the choice is taken after examining the position of players, but also their connection in play. Technology can draw a line, but the valuation leftovers in the referee's hands. This leftover is crucial," he stated.

How will the technology work?

Johannes Holzmuller, FIFA's football technology, and novelty director have been a key driver for this new outline to modern football. Holzmuller has since clarified how semi-automated offsides will work:

"It is founded on limb-tracking technology," Holzmuller began.

"We connect 10 to 12 cameras inside the stadium beneath the roof. These cameras are following the players and following up to 29 data points 50 times per second, and this data is then nearly in real-time treated and intended by the software, by Artificial Intellect, and this is sent routinely to the VAR and the replay operator."

The main trial for this new technology was at the Arab Cup after plans for tests in England, Spain and Germany were powerless to happen due to the pandemic in 2020.
