FIFA has confirmed it will use semi-automated offside technology during the 2022 Qatar World Cup. More from mjshrimper and GarrickOmar
The new technology will use 12 specialised tracking cameras mounted underneath the roof of the stadium to track the ball and up to 29 data points of each individual player, 50 times per second, calculating their exact position on the pitch.
The ball itself will also play an important role in tracking an offside through the sensor which is located at the centre. It sends ball data to the video operation room 500 times per second, meaning it gives a very accurate detection of the kick point. After a decision is made, a 3D animation will be projected onto the big screen inside the stadium to allow spectators to view the outcome.
“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 FIFA World Cup 2022.”
