In the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the sanction of the advanced position could be sanctioned by the use of technology, with the aim of accelerating “decision-making” and not delaying the game, as is currently the case with the video arbitration system (VAR), as planned by FIFA.
The Spanish newspaper Sports world announced this Wednesday that FIFA is preparing “a revolutionary change with the offside, which comes after the controversial final of the League of Nations between Spain and France in which the Gauls took the title with a controversial goal.”
In this regard, Arsène Wenger, head of FIFA Global Development, said that “the idea is to continue advancing in the speed of decision-making, particularly in terms of offside.” The former English Arsenal manager told Goal magazine that “in the 2022 World Cup we will be much better able to make very fast offside decisions. It will stop the game less because that is what the VAR can be blamed for.” “There is a good chance that the offside will be automated for Qatar 2022. It will be the next big breakthrough in refereeing,” he added.
The leader stressed that the new decision “is not against the VAR, which is still positive, because if it were announced tomorrow that the VAR is being removed, people would be against it. The VAR is a new process and people within the VAR can not being at the level of the referees. He will improve with the years since he is a useful help and he must remain to make fairer decisions, “the former coach summarized.
