FIFA Seeks Better Tech For Checking Offside and Cheaper Video Review

News 18  

FIFA is working with technology firms to develop better visuals of offside lines and improve decision making by referees, the soccer body said Tuesday. FIFA provided an update on its innovation panel’s work to also study semi-automated offside calls that can help match officials and develop cheaper video review systems for less wealthy competition organizers. The innovation panel has received proposals from tech providers who will be supplied with data to help develop improved visuals, FIFA said. The aim of this development phase is to further improve the algorithms of the systems based on a collection of datasets from hundreds of different offside incidents, FIFA said.
