Holy sweet hell...I know we want them to get the calls right, but this seems insane to me. Now instead of inches we're going to be measuring in microns?

FIFA has approved the use of its new Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) for VAR at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
A sensor will be placed in the centre of the Adidas "Al Rihla" World Cup balls, recording data 500 times a second to detect when the ball has been kicked. All players will be mapped to create an AI model of their position -- a similar method to goal-line technology.
"In addition, we know it's very difficult to understand if a player was in an offside or onside position, because the two lines are close to each other. The Semi-Automated Offside Technology can be used to create a new visualisation of close offside incidents with a 3D animation automatically generated, using the same data.
