Premier League clubs have voted in favour of changes to next season’s VAR system but do not want to see the popular offside technology from the World Cup introduced.
The tournament in Qatar saw a slight alteration to offside calls, with semi-automated technology in action. A chip in the heart of the matchball combined with Fifa’s Semi-Automated Offside Technology saw a host of cameras generate a 3D image of a situation to determine whether an attacker was offside.
That image was then displayed on big screens in the stadium and on live television broadcasts. The system garnered plenty of praise throughout the World Cup, whilst UEFA also used the technology throughout the recent European season.
