FIFA’s Tri‑Ball sensor aims to capture touches missed by broadcast cameras

FIFA has introduced a Tri‑Ball sensor system for use in matches. The sensor is designed to detect ball touches that cameras may miss. It works by embedding technology directly in the ball. Broadcasters could rely on the data to improve match analysis. Officials may use the information to verify contentious moments. The system seeks to enhance the accuracy of televised coverage. Early trials are assessing its reliability compared with traditional cameras. Wider adoption could change how football events are recorded and reviewed.
