Doha: The offside technique successfully used in World Cup football will also be used in the Asian Cup. This is the first time that semi-automated offside technology has arrived in Asian football. The semi-automated offside technology will play a crucial role in controlling play throughout the month-long Asian Cup.

This is the first time that the offside technology used in FIFA-level matches will be used at the confederation level. AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa said that Asian match refereeing is also changing to world-class standards by implementing semi-automated technology.

The offside technology works through 12 cameras installed in the gallery. These cameras will track 29 points on the player’s body. The movements of the ball and the players are closely monitored and with the help of the sensor on the ball, the information will be delivered to the VAR room in real time. The semi-automated offside technology is also a solution to the offside disputes that cause a lot of headaches for referees.
