The International Football Federation (FIFA) announced the debut of a new technology capable of automatically detecting an offside situation, which is already under way in the 18th edition of its Club World Cup, which started on the last day 03, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
It should be noted that FIFA had already tested this technology at the Arab Cup, in Qatar, and where the Club World Cup is the second test, and where this technology consists of a tracking mode based on images from cameras installed under the roof of the stadium , which captures all the movements of the players on the field and also of the ball.
With this innovative technology, it is possible to create real-time three-dimensional visual representations of the players' animated skeletons, with 29 data points of each athlete on the field.

According to what was revealed, it will now be possible to detect when a player is in an irregular position, where the technology sends a signal to the VAR cabin, which warns the main referee within the four lines.
With this, it will no longer be necessary to manually draw the offside lines, those same lines that have already given much to talk about and that take a few minutes to be disclosed.
still in the communiqué, FIFA says that thanks to this technology it will also now be possible to see an entire match as a virtual animation with just a few seconds of delay, thus allowing coaches, medical commissions and other specialists to observe the game from a new perspective.
