FIFA had tested its technology, which largely leaves offside detection to artificial intelligence, at the FIFA Arab Cup, which took place in the past months. Announcing the successful completion of these tests, FIFA announced that the system would also be used in the World Cup and that the work in this area was accelerated.
“Semi-automatic offside technology”, a new technology that will track players’ limbs during the match and detect whether a football player is in an offside position, decides the outcome with images obtained from a camera installed on the roof of the stadium. This system, which can detect the offside in real time, can collect data from 29 different data points 50 times per second for each player.
The system will be used in the UEFA Super Cup match before the Champions League
This system, which works thanks to special cameras, will be used for the first time in the UEFA Super Cup match in Helsinki. The semi-automatic offside technology, which will determine the offside based on the position of the ball and the player, will send a warning to the VAR.
This system, which will be tried in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup match to be played between the last Champions League champion Real Madrid and the last UEFA Europa League champion Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, 10 August, at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium, will also be used in the Champions League from next season.
