State-of-the-art technology is being used in Qatar to determine offside

Technology began to be used in football to make refereeing decisions more accurate. This time, FIFA took the initiative to make this technology called Video Assistant Referee (VAR) more perfect. The implementation of which will be seen in the World Cup in Qatar.

According to FIFA, the latest technology is being used in the World Cup more than ever before. That's why this year's decisions will be more perfect, said the chairman of FIFA's relevant committee, former elite referee Pierluigi Kalina.

3-D rendering and semi-automatic offside technology

The high technology that is being used in this World Cup is called Semi Automatic Offside Technology. With this technology, difficult offside decisions can be made more accurately and faster than ever before. At the same time, through the 3-D rendering system, spectators can watch 3-D videos on giant screens located in stadiums and on TVs at home in moments.

"This technology will help us make decisions about offsides much faster and more precisely," Pierluigi Kalina told a news conference in Doha.

He also said, 'I want to clarify one thing. Quickness does not mean that we observe immediate offside decisions. It will happen, in much less time than before. But, in a second or right now - not like that.'

Referee's decision is final

However, whatever technology is used, the referee's decision on the field will be final. Pierluigi Kalina said about this, 'I want to inform one thing that the decision of the referee on the field will be the final. This power will ultimately be enjoyed by the match officials. VAR or any other technology - the decision will depend on the referee of the match.

FIFA officials said, 'Each stadium will have 12 cameras. Each camera will be directed to each player's 29 points. Not only that, but the ball that is being used in the World Cup called Rihla is of high technology. That is why the use of technology in the game of ball will ensure the maximum.

FIFA Technology and Innovation Director Johannes Holzmüller said, 'This is the most advanced technology yet to perfect the offside. We have analyzed its data and found that the outcome from here is very positive.

Referees officiating at the World Cup have been trained by FIFA to use and benefit from the latest technology.
