English soccer to debut semi-automated offside technology in FA Cup

Associated Press  

LONDON — English soccer will use semi-automated offside technology for the first time in the fifth round of the FA Cup at the start of March. After progress in recent weeks, Premier League chief executive Tony Scholes said last week, the technology will first be used in the FA Cup, which has reached the last-16 stage. “Semi-automated offside technology will provide more efficient placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking, and produce virtual graphics to ensure an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for supporters,” the FA said. Semi-automated offside technology was used at a World Cup for the first time in the men’s tournament in Qatar in 2022.
