Offside technology
In July, football’s world governing body, FIFA, blazoned the use of asemi-automated offside system at the World Cup to help make fast and accurate offside calls.
According to the governing body’s rules, a player is in an offside position if “ any part of the head, body or bases is in the opponents ’ half( banning the halfway line) and any part of the head, body or bases is nearer to the opponents ’ thing line than both the ball and the alternate-last opponent ”.
The technology uses a detector in the ball and a branch- tracking camera system to follow the movements of players. To help suckers and observers at home understand the adjudicator’s decision, the data will be used to project 3D images on colosseum defenses. Twelve cameras will be mounted on top of each of the eight host colosseums to give player movement data to the Video Assistant Referee system( train Andrew Couldridge/ Reuters) still, one fresh negotiation will be allowed, If a World Cup game goes into redundant time.

Womanish arbiters

Utmost ‘compact’ World Cup
With an area of little further than,500 sq km(,440 sq long hauls) and a population of around2.9 million, Qatar will be the lowest country ever to host FIFA’s flagship event.
All eight colosseums are located within a 50 km( 31- afar) compass of the capital, Doha. During the group stages, utmost days will feature up to four games. While Qatar and FIFA say the “ compact ” nature of the event will allow people to watch multiple matches a day, critics argue that an affluence of further than1.2 million people could lead to major traffic on the thoroughfares, making it more delicate for people to move around the country.
“ Having four matches in a day is a challenge in a megacity like Doha, ” Abdulaziz Ali Al- Mawlawi of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, organiser of the event, said last month. “ Of course, we’re awaiting to have traffic on the thoroughfares. ” seminaries in Qatar will remain unrestricted during the World Cup while office working hours have been reduced.
