[Sports Road News]Following FIFA’s announcement last month, the semi-automated offside technology system (SAOT) will be used in this year’s World Cup in Qatar to assist in the enforcement of the ball. UEFA also announced today (10th) that in the European Super Cup between Real Madrid and Frankfurt next Wednesday (10th), it will try to adopt a semi-automatic offside technical system, and plans to apply it to the next season of the European League.
With the development of technology, goal line technology and VAR are also widely used in major competitions, and the European Super Cup is also the first competition to use a semi-automatic offside technology system. The principle of the SAOT system is to use the built-in measurement sensor of the football to send position data 500 times per second. In addition, 12 special cameras are set up in the stadium to collect data 50 times per second from the 29 detection points on the football and each player. Then use the computer to determine whether it is offside or not.
UEFA said the system has been tested in 188 competitions since 2020, including all Europa League matches, the Women’s Europa League group stage and the Women’s Europa League last season, and that the system has been installed and ready to use at every Europa League stadium.
