FIFA to Use New High-Tech for Offside Calls at World Cup

The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will have new technology to improve offside calls after introducing goal-line technology and video reviews in 2014 and 2018.

Each stadium in Qatar will have 12 cameras beneath the roof synchronized to track 29 data points on each player’s body 50 times per second. Data is processed with artificial intelligence to create a 3D offside line that is alerted to the team of VAR officials.

The shot by England’s Frank Lampard that crossed the Germany goal-line in 2010 but was not given as a goal almost immediately ended then-president Sepp Blatter’s opposition to giving referees technological aids. FIFA’s push to get the new offside technology ready for the World Cup was slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It falls to the senior VAR official to alert the match referee of the right decision by their audio link. That should take from 20 to 25 seconds compared to an average of 70 seconds currently for a complex offside call.
