On Thursday, the English Football Association (FA) announced that semi-automated offside technology will be used in all matches of the English Premier League next season. This decision was made after the successful trial of the technology in the previous season. FA partners in technical matters assure that the new system will help arbiters in making complex decisions and improve the accuracy of offside assessments. Arbiters will use special equipment to review moments that caused doubts in offside situations. This technology is considered an important step in improving the quality of officiating and reducing errors.
"We are very pleased with the results of the trials of semi-automated offside technology in the last season and are excited to start its use in the English Premier League," said the FA representative. The new system will be implemented in all matches of the championship, and we are confident it will help make more accurate and fair decisions on offsides."
The technology transmits images from cameras installed in the stadiums to special monitors that the referee sees on the field. This allows for more accurate decisions in determining offside situations, which ultimately helps improve the quality of the arbitration in matches. The English Premier League has become one of the first leagues to actively implement advanced technologies to enhance the quality of football matches.
