Premier League confirm introduction of semi-automated offside technology

The Premier League has confirmed semi-automated offside technology will be introduced to the competition in matchweek 32.

Last April, Premier League clubs voted for the implementation of the technology and it is now set to be brought into the competition in the next few weeks.

A system which will provide a more efficient placement of the virtual offside line when determining offside decisions, while it there to assist match officials, it should also improve the experience of supporters, both at the game and those watching on at home.

Already having been used at the most recent Men's and Women's FIFA World Cups and in the UEFA Champions League, the system has been tested in a non-live capacity in the Premier League and in the FA Cup this season.

Now, it has been passed for use in the Premier League with our trip to Wolves on Sunday 13 April the first time we will see it in action.
