"Premier League Introduces Semi-Automated Offside Technology for Next Season"

Premier League clubs have approved the use of semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) for the 2024-25 season, which will use the same cameras and software as UEFA's Champions League. The SAOT aims to save time and provide consistent placement of the virtual offside line, with the hope of reducing disruptions caused by offside decisions. The technology, which has been used in other competitions like the World Cup and Serie A, will work alongside the existing manual VAR system and is expected to bring an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for supporters.
