FIFA unveils new offside detection system for 2026 World Cup

FIFA announced a new technology to assist referees with offside calls. The system will be deployed at the 2026 World Cup. It builds on earlier video assistant referee (VAR) tools. The technology uses multiple cameras and real‑time data processing. Officials will receive instant alerts to improve decision accuracy. FIFA hopes the system will reduce controversial calls. Teams and fans are expected to see clearer enforcement of the offside rule. The rollout will be tested in upcoming international matches before the tournament.
