In particular, FIFA announced in July that it would use the new technology at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.. At that time, the decision to introduce the system was made due to the imperfection of the video replay system, which significantly delayed the game and did not always accurately determine the correct decision in game episodes..
The introduction of a semi-automatic offside detection system is announced by the UEFA official website.
The semi-automatic system takes into account the position of the limbs of the players at the time of passing the ball. UEFA notes that it monitors 29 different points on the body of the players, faster and more accurately determining whether the player was offside..
" The system is ready for use in official matches and for use in every Champions League stadium,"
The system will be tested for the first time in the UEFA Super Cup match between Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt on 10 August.. In the Champions League, in turn, it will be introduced from group stage matches from September 6.
Earlier it was reported that UEFA decided to use the video assistant referee (VAR) system starting from the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League.
