In other news, the Premier League has announced that it will be implementing semi-automated offside technology starting next season. The decision was made unanimously by clubs during a Premier League meeting, with the new system set to be launched in the first half of the upcoming season. This new technology will use AI-based technology to provide quicker and more consistent placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking.
The introduction of semi-automated offside technology is seen as a move to enhance the overall experience for supporters both in-stadium and through broadcasts. The technology will also produce high-quality graphics to make it easier to determine offside calls. This new system has already been successfully used at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and in the Champions League.
With the implementation of this new technology, the Premier League is taking a step towards modernizing the game and improving the accuracy of offside calls. Fans can look forward to a more seamless and efficient experience when it comes to determining offside decisions in future matches.
