As the FIFA World Cup is going on their is revolutionized in the football technology. The new technology which is semi automated offside technology has been introduced to track the players offside position onto the game. Semi-automated offside technology (SAOT), which will use multiple cameras to track players' movements in addition to a sensor in the ball and quickly display 3D images on stadium screens during the tournament, was by FIFA before the kick off of world cup. SAOT will help viewers and spectators understand the referee's call.

For those who are unaware, this is the third World Cup in a row that FIFA has introduced new technology to assist officials. In response to an infamous refereeing disaster in 2010, goal-line technology was prepared for a major game in Brazil in 2014. The use of video review to assist referees in deciding game-changing occurrences was implemented in the next edition, played in Russia in 2018. The new offside technology claims to make decisions more quickly and accurately than the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system now in use.

Each stadium in Qatar will have a dozen cameras beneath the roof, synchronized to track 29 data points on each player's body 50 times a second. Artificial intelligence is used to evaluate data and produce a 3D offside line that is communicated to the VAR officials. Additionally, a sensor included in the game ball tracks its speed and acceleration and offers a precise "kick point," or when the pivotal pass is made to line up with the offside line data, according to Johannes Holzmller, the FIFA innovation director, in an online conversation.

The development of new high-tech was always on FIFA's agenda, but because of the COVID-19 epidemic, progress on getting the innovative system ready for the 2022 World Cup has stalled. However, real in-game trials were held at the 2021 Arab Cup in Qatar as well as the FIFA Club World Cup that took place in the UAE earlier this year.

The new technology currently holds up a lot of potential. The effectiveness for officials is still up in the air, and the 2018 World Cup will provide the answers.
