All 64 of the games in Qatar will employ the technology, according to a statement from FIFA on Friday.

In February, the Club World Cup and the Arab Cup both tested the new offside technology.

The position of players is recorded even more precisely than before thanks to a signal in the ball and a dozen cameras that track players’ movements.

A video assistant will review the data and promptly relay it to the referee on the field.

“The match officials are still involved in the decision-making process, as the technology gives an answer only when a player is in an offside position.

“In other words, the assessment of interfering with an opponent remains a match official’s responsibility,” FIFA referees’ chief, Pierluigi Collina, said in a statement.

In addition to more precise measurements, it is also hoped that the technology speeds up video assistant reviews for offside.

Currently, it takes an average of 70 seconds but the new system could cut that to 25 seconds.

“I’ve heard a lot about ‘robot referees.’ I understand sometimes this is very good for headlines, but this is not the case,” Collina said.

Video screens will be used to inform fans in the stadium about decisions.
