FIFA confirmed on Friday that a semi-automated offside system will be used at this year's World Cup in Qatar. | Sport24news
The optical tracking system was trialled at the FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi earlier this year and had also been tested at the Arab Cup in Qatar last December.
"This technology is the culmination of three years of dedicated research and testing to provide the very best for the teams, players and fans who will be heading to Qatar later this year, and FIFA is proud of this work, as we look forward to the world seeing the benefits of semi-automated offside technology at the World Cup 2022," he added.
The term"semi-automated" is used because FIFA insist match officials will still make the final call, with a dedicated VAR assistant in place to monitor offsides.
