The Premier League has made the decision to implement semi-automated offside technology starting from the next season. This was a unanimous decision made by clubs during a meeting. The new AI-based system is set to be launched in the first half of the season and will use optical player tracking to provide quicker and consistent placement of the virtual offside line.
This technology will greatly enhance the experience for supporters, both in stadiums and at home. Semi-automated offside technology has already been used at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and has been implemented in the Champions League as well.
The development of this technology reflects ongoing efforts to modernize and improve the way football matches are officiated. By using technology like this, we can ensure fair play and accuracy in decision-making during games. Supporters can look forward to a more seamless and efficient way of determining offsides in the upcoming season of the Premier League.
