FIFA is working with technology<\/a> firms to develop better visuals of offside lines and improve decision making by referees, the soccer body said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

FIFA provided an update on its innovation panel’s work to also study semi-automated offside calls that can help match officials and develop cheaper video review systems for less wealthy competition organizers.<\/p>\n

A priority for the panel is “improvement of the visualisation of close offside incidents,” FIFA said.<\/p>\n

The increasing use of video assistant referees has seen goals ruled out for marginal calls\u2014including “armpit offsides”\u2014that called into question the accuracy of on-screen graphics used to judge them.<\/p>\n

The innovation panel has received proposals from tech providers who will be supplied with data to help develop improved visuals, FIFA said.<\/p>\n

In addition, three providers are working on semi-automated offside calls. The research, however, has been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

“The aim of this development phase is to further improve the algorithms of the systems based on a collection of datasets from hundreds of different offside incidents,” FIFA said.<\/p>\n

FIFA also wants “to create more affordable VAR systems to enable the use of VAR at all levels of the game<\/a>” while keeping minimum quality standards of the technology.<\/p>\n

The “VAR ‘light'” concept is being tested by Asian Football Confederation, UEFA and the French soccer federation.<\/p>\n

The FIFA update came before its rules-making panel, known as IFAB, hosts meetings next week.\n <\/p>\n\n
