The optical tracking system was trialed at the
FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi in February and last year’s Arab Cup. FIFA have
confirmed it will be in place for the World Cup in Qatar.
The data-driven, limb-tracking technology utilizes
both dedicated and broadcast cameras around the stadium to give the exact
position of players on the pitch, offering match officials precise information
within seconds.
“This innovative system will allow VAR teams to
determine offside situations quickly and more accurately, enhancing the flow of
the game and the consistency of the decisions”, said UEFA chief refereeing
officer Roberto Rosetti.
Specialized cameras enable the system to generate 29
body points per player. UEFA said that 188 tests have been conducted since
2020.
“The system is ready to be used in official matches
and implemented at each Champions League venue,” added Rosetti.
It will be introduced in Europe for the first time in the
UEFA Super Cup between
Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt in Helsinki on
August 10.
