Top technology innovations employed at the 2022 World Cup that will leave you amazed!The 2022 Qatar World Cup, dubbed the most expensive in history, aims to deliver a tournament applying advanced technologies to enhance the experience for players and spectators alike. Besides the familiar VAR and goal-line technologies, do you know what other new technologies are in play? Check out 24h Technology's article below to explore the TOP technologies being implemented at the 2022 World Cup!
Automated Offside Detection Technology (AODT) - Technology implemented at the 2022 World Cup
The new Automated Offside Detection Technology (AODT) makes its debut at the World Cup 2022.One of the latest technologies, and quite effectively utilized in the early matches of the FIFA World Cup 2022, is the Automated Offside Detection Technology (AODT). With this automated technology, numerous cameras positioned atop the stadium roof will monitor all activities of the 22 players on the field.
In addition to the cameras spread throughout the stadium, there are up to 12 tracking cameras positioned around the stadium alongside a sensor placed inside the Al Rihla ball to monitor the movement of each player, and the 'moment of ball leaving foot' accurately in real-time using artificial intelligence.
Automated offside detection technology tracks the ball's position and 29 data points of each player to determine the passing moment and position.Thus, VAR will receive automatic warning signals if any player is in an offside position. Free-kick points will also be quickly determined just seconds after the play unfolds.
This helps referees accurately determine the timing of player passes, shots. At that point, the VAR team's task is only to reassess the situation manually and send information to the main referee in case of any discrepancies.
Automated offside detection technology is a 'nightmare' for Messi and the entire Argentina team.Despite causing much controversy as in the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia, leaving Messi and his 'office mates' bitter with 7 offside calls in just 35 minutes of play, creating a 'shockwave' for their Middle Eastern counterparts.
But the extremely high accuracy of the technology cannot be denied, making the matches more exciting and transparent than ever.
Utilization of FIFA Player performance information
FIFA Player app interface.Recently, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) announced the development of the FIFA Player app, allowing all players participating in the 2022 World Cup to actively track their performance in detail.
Each player will have physical data collected through sensors, multiple high-precision cameras installed around the field. Metrics may include heat maps, time spent moving at speeds over 25 km/h, maximum speed. Additionally, viewers can also identify passing numbers, chances created, and individual players' pressing abilities when losing possession.
All participating players will be closely monitored through metrics with new technology at the 2022 World Cup.Players will also receive personal and opponent information in the matches they participate in, enabling them to share these images on social media along with statistical data.
Soccer Data Ecosystem
Real-time match information diagrams include events and positions.Teams, media outlets, broadcasters, and organizers require this data in event-based or location-based formats. Therefore, statistical data, aggregated before, during, and after matches, always play a crucial role in modern football. This is also the reason for the emergence of soccer data ecosystem technology.
Data provided by FIFA in the ecosystem is directly collected through all actions, events on the field including passes, shots, substitutions, referee decisions.
The new World Cup 2022 technology promises to benefit both teams and the audience following the world's largest football extravaganza.With positional data of all players, referees, and the ball, an optical tracking system installed at all 8 World Cup stadiums records multiple times per second, precise to every centimeter, providing the most optical and accurate data.
Promising to benefit both teams and the audience following the world's largest football extravaganza!
Automatic Goal-line Determination
Goal-line technology involves using support technologies to determine whether a goal has been scored or not.Essentially, goal-line technology is the use of support technologies to determine whether a goal has been scored or not. Specifically, it is a method to ascertain whether the ball has completely crossed the goal line, inside the area between the goalposts and beneath the crossbar, with the assistance of electronic devices, aiding referees in goal recognition.
Goal-line technology cannot replace referees' decisions but will assist them in making decisions.Goal-line technology cannot replace referees' decisions but will assist them in making decisions. In essence, this technology began to be applied at the 2014 World Cup and has been continuously upgraded over the years of hosting. And in Qatar this year, this technology still plays a crucial role.
Also in Qatar this year, the goal-line system will be upgraded and developed with each system at the 8 stadiums using data from 14 high-speed cameras installed under the pitch or under the canopy. The data is used to create 3D animations to provide visual displays for viewers on TV or in the stadium.
Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Technology
VAR technology is almost familiar to those who regularly follow football.Previously, if our forefathers watched football matches, they often encountered 'heaven and earth' decisions or sometimes felt unfairly treated by the 'black-clad kings' directly impacting the game. But now, football fans can no longer blame the referees because of VAR technology support. In fact, this technology excellently fulfilled its duties at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Video Assistant Referee, affectionately known as VAR, is a surveillance camera system capturing every move around the ball, with an analysis team dissecting each frame and player action to assist referees in making the most accurate decisions.
In Qatar this year, all 8 stadiums will have a minimum of 42 cameras and VAR referee teams will have access to all systems.In Qatar this year, all 8 stadiums will have a minimum of 42 cameras and VAR referee teams will have access to all systems. Among these are 8 cameras supporting ultra-slow-motion playback, with 4 of them being extremely slow. A VAR group consists of 8 individuals, including 4 referees wearing green shirts and 4 supporting members.
VAR technology boasts a success rate of 99.3% and promises to be beneficial for the 2022 World Cup, as well as the upcoming V-League!According to FIFA, the VAR system has a success rate of 99.3%, higher than the referee's correct decision rate without VAR, which is 95%.
Therefore, for me, this is still the most 'worth its weight in gold' technology. Let me tell you that the V-League will also be allowed to use this technology soon, so stay tuned to see how it benefits our national football scene!
