Qatar 2022 will be the first FIFA men’s World Cup to use semi-automated offside technology in an effort to improve the speed and accuracy of decisions.
The technology – successfully tested at the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup and at last year’s FIFA Club World Cup – will see video match officials receive offside alerts, with decisions validated manually before being communicated to the on-field referee.
Communication with fans inside stadiums will also be improved with a 3D animation displayed on big screens, and to television viewers at home, showing how the offside decision was reached.

The Star Wars quote "I have a bad feeling about this.." springs to mind.
They should use such tech for fake penalties given to cry babies who initiate fouls and fool referees into rewarding a penalty!!!!
Yes AI and small details trigger us. However, I RATHER AGREE WITH MACHINE DECISION THAN SOME SUS REFEREE DECISION CUZ MACHINE DOES NOT FLAVOR ANY SIDE
what about player privacy? 😀
Is all these bs really necessary?.,we might as well put ai robots on the pitch. They're bungin somebody somewhere that I'm absolutely sure of.
I still think that they should go back to there needing to be clear daylight between the attacker and last defender for it to be considered offside. Benefit of the doubt was always given to the attacking player but it seems to have switched to the defending player with how the rule currently stands. These marginal decisions where a player is offside by a pube are absolutely maddening and just suck all the fun out of things. We’ll see how this technology is implemented and how it works in practice, but for now, I remain sceptical.
What a load of bullocks
Why can't the offside rule just be if the whole of players body is beyond the last defenders as opposed to a body part, would make the game much better
Football is dead.
VAR has been a catastrophe…but hopefully this will change it.
So linesmen’s days are numbered then
1:08 So now offside will be decided by Xbox Kinect?
Just change the offside rule if you’re gonna make it so accurate, really hate goals ruled out for 1/2 an inch of someone’s shoulder being offside
Can’t wait for someone’s eyelash to make them offside
Slowly getting ridded of the ref
I have no intention of watching this World Cup. And I doubt I'm the only one.
Did anybody ask for this?
Does anybody actually want this 1984 nightmare???!!@
As long as it’s accurate this can only be a good thing
I was born in the wrong decade. God I hate so this nonsense. There is no limits and we’ll end mankind
Seems like just yesterday when 'Hawk Eye' was introduced to bring about Goal Line Technology.. Eventually we won't have a need for referees
Hw tf they get it right to put a sensor in the ball
Ever get the feeling Football is taking it self too seriously. It's supposed to be a game. What a turn off.
This is just stupidity.
There, be ready for hacking! Suparstrikas cartoon magazine from South Africa, long predicted this way back in 2008.
Gonna be the lowest scoring world cup in history
will the players be comfortable with the sensors on them.
I can see privacy infringement here for players. Imagine getting player playtime data points for a whole season. You can accurately predict player position if you have access to this data. You can to some extent be able to simulate matches
since the ball has to send data too, how is the system going to determine which ball is being used in the pitch remember there will be many balls outside the pitch on ball boys
Y tho
Welcome to the death of football
FOOTBALL IS DEAD
Too much technology. Millimetre offsides ruin the game.
Convenient how they omitted the large briefcase of US Dollars in the FIFA VAR Room passed on by a Russian or Qatari bookmaker or politician.
All this technology is fine as long as you dont get anything magnetic near it or any little envelopes made with brown paper !
Is this chip inside the ball for the purpose of offside or to decide the result of the match?
What a load of sh*te
Technology is really amazing. The engineers are just following the rules of the game. So if someone doesn’t like this, then they need to dislike the rules we have for offsides, not the tech. I personally love the Italian U18 trial this season where: “It is onside if the attacking player is ahead of the defender, but still with one part of the body that can score inline with the defender”
We have so much amazing technology now… yet because its fifa you just know itll be a total mess
Its FOOTBALL… your baby finger shouldnt make you offside as you cant use it, it should be based on grounded foot of attacker
Cata ?
They will have to put an extra sensor on Zlatan's nose and Sterling's backside😂
What makes this more legit is the final reviews shown to the audience. That way there’s no doubt. Transparency is key
Why bother having a on field Ref anymore
If Lukaku doesn't get 30 tracking points it's not fair
Destroying the game.
It's literally gonna be down to a fingernail now
Technology is taking the true essence of the sport. Trying too hard to make it a perfect sport without errors, errors makes us human.
This isn't breaking news, it's been known for months.
There better not be any armpit offside decisions
Just go back to the old days
